Nonlinear Dynamics of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers
Figure 12
(a) Typical time-trace of mode hopping in the LP mode intensity of a VCSEL close to a polarization switching induced by weak optical feedback. (b) is an enlargement of (a) showing the two LP mode intensities when the light polarization hops between the two orthogonal directions. (c) shows a time-trace of the LP mode intensity (solid curve) together with the one of the total intensity (dotted curve). After [61]. (Reprinted by permission from Opt. Lett.)
