The design and analysis of the Photonic Crystal Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (PCVCSEL) device are discussed and simulated using the 3D Finite Difference Frequency Domain (FDFD) microcavity model, available in the PICS3D simulation package. The 3D full vectorial microcavity model provides an accurate analysis of complex 3D structures, offering insights into mode complexity and modal parameters. In this paper, we investigate the effect of the photonic crystal unit cell on both the lasing power and the far-field pattern. The simulation results demonstrate a lasing power of almost 5mW with a threshold current of 0.2mA.
