Nonlinear polarization dynamics in directly modulated vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers.
A current-modulated vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser is shown to exhibit interesting nonlinear dynamics in its two orthogonal linearly polarized (LP), fundamental transverse modes. The intensities of the two LP modes may exhibit in-phase time-periodic dynamics or chaotic regimes with combination of in-phase and antiphase dynamics at two different time scales. Chaotic dynamics are found in...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamics of current-modulated multitransverse mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers
An analysis of the nonlinear dynamics of current modulated weakly index-guided VCSELs in a multi{transverse mode regime is performed by using a model that takes into account all the transverse modes supported by the waveguide. Nonlinear dynamical behavior is studied when applying current modulation of high frequency and large modulation depth. Chaotic behavior is obtained in the multitransverse...
متن کاملVertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers
The goal of this project was to increase the power of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers and to convert their wavelength into the blue/ultraviolet and the infrared for sensing applications. We have increased the power to the multi-watt level and have generated several milliwatts of blue light using optical pumping. Electrical pump has been less successful, but we have identified the proble...
متن کاملInvestigating the Polarization Properties of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers
Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are a new type of semiconductor laser that have emerged as an economical alternative to conventional edge-emitting lasers. Anisotropies within these lasers, such as birefringence and dichroism, cause their optical output to favor one of two orthogonal linear polarizations; however, other optical outputs such as elliptical polarization and polariz...
متن کاملPolarization switching control in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers
Orthogonal polarizations within vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers ~VCSEL! lase at slightly different wavelengths. We describe the use of optical feedback to confine polarization variations to reproducible injection currents. An external cavity is used to select specific wavelengths that reflect back into the VCSEL, hence, changing the cavity Q for the different polarization states. With t...
