We report a new graphical tool to analyze optical injection-locked vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). It predicts the resonant frequency enhancement and cavity mode behavior for both single- and multi- mode VCSELs under injection locking. Calculations based on this model show excellent agreement with experimental results.
