Time dependent polarization switching properties of injectionlocked 1.55-μm VCSEL

초록

This paper reports experimental results on temporal characteristics of injection-locked polarization switching of a conventional type 1.55-μm wavelength single-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). The polarization of external injection beam was kept orthogonal to main mode of VCSEL. The relation for variation of intensity of two polarization modes of VCSEL with wavelength detuning for various repetition rates of injection pulse is reported.
