Abstract
We present a new view at simulating the VCSEL spectrum based on stochastic version of the widely used SFM model [1]. In comparison to the existing results [2], our method provides not only wavelengths and relative linewidths of lasing spikes but also the full spectrum. We show that it captures all known features such as polarization switching [3], four-wave-mixing (FWM) spike [4], and relaxation oscillations [5].
