Abstract

Tunable vertical cavity surface‐emitting lasers (VCSELs) are potentially useful for future optical networks. To date, the most successful mechanics to realize wavelength tunability in tunable VCSELs resides in MEM‐VCSELs via microelectromechanical (MEM) technology. The key parts to accomplish wavelength tuning in these MEM‐VCSELs are controllably movable top mirrors. We present dynamic problems in developing and characterizing these micromirrors. Simulation results of four different mirror shapes with different dimensions are presented. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
