Silver　nanowire　(AgNW)　film　was　proposed　to　apply　on　the　surface　of　the　vertical-cavity　surface-emitting　lasers　(VCSELs)　with　large　aperture　in　order　to　obtain　a　uniform　current　distribution　in　the　active　region　and　a　better　optical　beam　quality.　Optimization　of　the　AgNW　film　was　carried　out　with　the　sheet　resistance　of　28.4　Omega/sq　and　the　optical　transmission　of　94.8%　at　850　nm.　The　performance　of　VCSELs　with　and　without　AgNW　film　was　studied.　When　the　AgNW　film　was　applied　to　the　surface　of　VCSELs,　due　to　its　better　current　spreading　effect,　the　maximum　output　optical　power　increased　from　23.4　mW　to　24.4　mW,　the　lasing　wavelength　redshift　decreased　from　0.085　nm/mA　to　0.077　nm/mA,　the　differential　resistance　decreased　from　23.95　Omega　to　21.13　Omega,　and　the　far　field　pattern　at　50　mA　decreased　from　21.6　degrees　to　19.2　degrees.　At　the　same　time,　the　near　field　test　results　showed　that　the　light　in　the　aperture　was　more　uniform,　and　the　far　field　exhibited　a　better　single　peak　characteristic.　Various　results　showed　that　VCSELs　with　AgNW　on　the　surface　showed　better　beam　quality.
