Abstract  In this paper, we present a simple thermal model of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) light-current (LI) characteristics based on the rate-equation. The model can be implemented in conventional SPICE-like circuit simulators, including HSPICE, and be used to simulate the key features of VCSEL. The results compare favorably with experimental data from a device reported in the literature. The simple empirical model is especially suitable for Computer Aided Design (CAD), and greatly simplifies the design of optical communication systems.

Key words： Carrier leakage      Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs)      Rate-equation      Thermal model      SPICE simulation
