In this variant, which is the inverse of the normal magnetic mirror effect whereby energy is transferred from the longitudinal to the transverse mode when a charged particle is transported into a region of high magnetic field, nearly all the transverse energy is transferred into the longitudinal mode, an effect described as adiabatic focusing or collimation.
This VCSEL was engineered to provide a laser diode with a single longitudinal and a single transverse mode, which, in contrast to most oxide-based single-mode VCSELs, remains in single-mode operation over a wide range of output power.
