Abstract

Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL) exhibit self-pulsations in the polarization-resolved light output at certain bias currents, where the dominant polarization direction suffers a transition from one direction to its orthogonal direction. This pulsation in the polarization resolved output could be controlled by an external optical injection in a master-slave configuration with VCSEL used as slave laser. Experimentally it has been demonstrated that the stabilization linear polarization directions preferred in the solitary VCSEL. The exact frequency of the optical injection to effect stabilization is dependent on the injection power and polarization.
