Abstract
We report an analytic model based on one-dimensional cantilever structure for designing the athermal and tunable MEMS VCSEL. The theoretical results calculated by using the model show good agreement with experimental results. We also discuss the theoretical limit of the wavelength tuning range with athermal operation. It is revealed that the limiting factor of the tuning range is the free-spectral-range of the cavity, which can be expanded by making the cavity length shorter.
