Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) have become the light source of choice for numerous applications, such as laser printers, computer mice, or fiber-optic data links in cars. This article is intended as a review of our activities in the field of VCSEL simulation. It discusses the status of physics-based simulation for the design of commercial VCSELs in general, and shows some examples of both long-wavelength and short-wavelength devices which analyze the scientific as well as industrial aspects in the design.
