Abstract
We suggest a new construction of spin-VCSEL with an embedded nematic liquid crystal (LC) in a second cavity. We design such a coupled-cavity LC-VCSEL and develop a procedure for calculating its LC-voltage dependent polarization resolved resonant longitudinal modes and their quantum-well confinement factors. Using these characteristics, we are able to slightly modify the spin-flip VCSEL model to include the voltage dependent birefringence and anisotropy. Then, we show that such an LC-VCSEL can reach small signal modulation response with a 3dB cut off frequency of several hundreds of GHz.
