The emission characteristics of an optically pumped vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL)[1] are optimized by specifically shaping the pump pulse. The temporal variation of amplitude and phase of the excitation are adapted using a genetic algorithm in a learning-loop [2]. Both, the excitation and emission pulses, are live monitored using a spectrometer-streak camera system. The performance of the VCSEL with respect to its emission intensity, pulse width, decay time, or delay after excitation is thus strongly improved.
