Abstract

We treat the effect of noise on the power and polarization characteristics of semiconductor lasers within the scope of our earlier model which considers polarization switching as a successive process of polarization transformation. We demonstrate that, under particular conditions, one can observe a stepwise transition between the states with the limiting values of polarization degree, though the latter remain statistical in their character. This process requires a certain time for its development, which cannot be regarded as a laser-system parameter.
