Polarization switching in quantum-well vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

Switching between linearly polarized states of slightly different optical frequencies with the same transversemode pattern is found, as the injection current is increased. Switchings found here for semiconductor rateequation models incorporating a vector electric field, birefringence, and the alpha...

Description
Summary:Switching between linearly polarized states of slightly different optical frequencies with the same transversemode pattern is found, as the injection current is increased. Switchings found here for semiconductor rateequation models incorporating a vector electric field, birefringence, and the alpha factor are similar to previously reported experimental results.
