Abstract: The pattern-dependent behavior of the turn-on delay in proton-implanted Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers is modeled with rate equations that include a second carrier reservoir to account for the current spreading underneath the proton-implanted regions. We find that under certain conditions, the carrier density in these regions can increase the turn-on jitter significantly.
