Abstract
We present an extensive experimental analysis of two-dimensional gallium-arsenide-based VCSEL arrays considering the impact on performance of the VCSEL density (inter-VCSEL spacing and mesa diameters), the number and arrangement of VCSEL elements, and the VCSEL vertical epitaxial design. We include computer simulations that explain well the behavior and trends we observe in our experiments. We present the most efficient modifications of the lateral and vertical VCSEL arrays designs to optimize heat dissipation, optical output power scaling, and wall plug efficiency.
