Cavity Solitons in VCSEL Devices

Figure 7

(a) Experimental setup of a CSL consisting in a VCSEL with frequency selective feedback. One pair of lenses are inserted inside the cavity in the self-imaging configuration. Beam splitters BS1 and BS2 are used for writing beam input port and for output detection. (b) Sequence of images (inverted contrast) of the VCSEL surface showing the independent writing and erasure of two CSL. Reprinted with permission from [54].
