Polarization Switching Mechanism in Semiconductor Surface-Emitting Lasers
Abstract
Based on the previously developed method for describing the polarized radiation formation in laser systems, numerical modeling of the polarization switching process in long-wavelength surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL) has been made. The analysis of the obtained results for output power, power of polarization modes, and degree of polarization showed, that in this case, there are no fundamental differences from the case of short-wavelength VCSELs that were studied earlier. This allowed for the formulation of a number of general conclusions regarding the mechanisms and dynamics of polarization characteristic formation in VCSELs, the main one being the assertion that the polarization switching process in VCSELs is a totally deterministic process transitioning from one limiting polarization to orthogonal one through a sequence of partially polarized states with a small change in current in the polarization switching region.
