Control of emitted light polarization in a 1310 nm dilute nitride spin- Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser subject to circularly-polarized optical injection
We experimentally demonstrate the control of the light polarization emitted by a 1310 nm dilute nitride spin-Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) at room temperature. This is achieved by means of a combination of polarized optical pumping and polarized optical injection. Without external injection the polarization of the optical pump controls that of the spin-VCSEL. However, the addit...
متن کاملOptically-pumped dilute nitride spin-VCSEL.
We report the first room temperature optical spin-injection of a dilute nitride 1300 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) under continuous-wave optical pumping. We also present a novel experimental protocol for the investigation of optical spin-injection with a fiber setup. The experimental results indicate that the VCSEL polarization can be controlled by the pump polarization, and...
متن کاملQuantum dot polarized light sources
The design, operation and performance of quantum dot spin-polarized vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) and single-photon sources are described and discussed. The effects of spin-induced gain anisotropy on output polarization and threshold current reduction have been studied along with the high-frequency response in a spin-polarized VCSEL. While the output circular polarization in ...
متن کاملPolarization synchronization in unidirectionally coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with orthogonal optical injection.
We analyze theoretically the polarization dynamics in unidirectionally coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). The master VCSEL is subject to an isotropic optical feedback. The slave VCSEL is subject to an orthogonal optical injection from the master VCSEL, i.e., only the linearly polarized mode orthogonal to the dominant linearly polarized mode of the free-running slave VCSEL...
متن کاملWavelength-induced polarization bistability in 1550 nm VCSELs subject to orthogonal optical injection
We report on a theoretical and experimental investigation of the bistable behavior of the polarization of longwavelength single-transverse mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) when subject to orthogonal optical injection. We have studied the bistability properties of the polarization switching that appear when changing the master laser wavelength with a fixed master laser power...
