Circular polarization degree (a) and threshold current reduction (b) as a function of the magnetic field in an electrically pumped spin-VCSEL at 50 K. The VCSEL design is displayed in the inset of (b). The spin-VCSEL based on electron spin injection utilizing a Fe/AlGaAs Schottky tunnel contact design. (from [17]).
