(Received 26 September 2011; accepted 2 November 2011; published online 19 December 2011)

A vertical cavity surface emitting laser with the active layer position detuned from the standing wave antinode is proposed for the purpose of high energy picosecond pulse generation by gain switching and analysed using numerical simulations and a fully analytical model. An optimum value of the confinement factor for high-energy pulse generation is predicted and its origins discussed.
