We describe recent progress in the physics of light-matter interactions in vertical-cavity surface-emitting-laser (VCSEL) structures. Enhanced spontaneous emission indicates strong medium-cavity coupling. The linewidth broadening factor is more accurately determined in VCSELs, supporting many-body theory of semiconductor nonlinearities. Threshold behavior of VCSELs and microlasers is investigated by photon-correlation experiment and quantum laser theory with emphasis on the importance of second-order coherence properties. External optical injection into a VCSEL cavity leads to injection locking, instabilities, acceleration of coherent energy transfer and sideband lasing, most of which are modeled successfully by recently-developed first-principles semiconductor laser theory.
