Abstract

We fabricated a (110)-oriented vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) and characterized the lasing properties of the VCSEL under optical spin injection. We demonstrated circularly polarized lasing at a high degree of circular polarization of 0.96 for our VCSEL at room temperature that originated from a long electron spin relaxation time of 0.7 ns in the (110) GaAs QWs despite a really small initial electron spin polarization of 0.04, which was well reproduced by using a rate equation analysis.
