摘要:This paper describes the novel structure of the multi wavelength reconfigurable Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) with tunable Fabry Perot cavities. This device is designed to operate in the C band. The tunability is achieved by varying the cavity length of the filter using electrostatic actuator. The cavity length of the filter is varied to resonate at discrete wavelengths. The cavity length variation is achieved by using MEMS based electrostatic actuator. The active layer of VCSEL is modeled with three quantum wells, and is sandwiched between the DBR mirrors to give high gain. The tunable portion consists of an array of four filters to give different wavelengths. The detail analysis of the filter is carried out and the performance is analysed using Intellisuite software.
