“…In this work, we experimentally study the enhancement of chaotic signal bandwidth under orthogonal optical injection of a continuous wave (CW) beam unidirectionally injected into a chaotic single transverse mode VCSEL. The slave VCSEL has chaotic dynamics because it is subject to isotropic optical feedback [26]. We analyze chaos bandwidth for either the total power or the two linear polarizations of the VCSEL as a function of the frequency detuning and the bias current applied to the VCSEL.…”

In this paper, we present an experimental study of bandwidths of broadband chaotic signals in a single-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) subject to orthogonal optical injection and optical feedback simultaneously. Bandwidths of the two linear polarizations and total power are measured for different values of frequency detuning and bias currents. When the VCSEL is subject to optical feedback only, both linear polarizations of the VCSEL are excited showing chaotic dynamics. Under simultaneous optical feedback and optical injection for small bias currents, we demonstrate that the orthogonal polarization can give a much larger value of the chaotic bandwidth than the total emitted power in agreement with Perez et al.

“…Many studies about dynamics of VCSELs with external-cavity optical feedback have been undertaken. With polarization-preserved or polarizationselective optical feedback, VCSELs can exhibit similar dynamics like RWEELs, such as rapid mode hopping between two adjacent external-cavity modes [11], low frequency fluctuations [12]- [14], regular pulse package [15], and chaos [11], [16]- [17]. Furthermore, due to two linear polarization modes [18], [19], VCSELs with external-cavity optical feedback can exhibit complex dynamics.…”

Two new dynamic-state switching phenomena are experimentally observed in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with polarization-preserved external-cavity optical feedback. One is switching between a steady state and a quasi-periodic state, and the other is switching between two different steady states. Both switching phenomena occur in the same polarization and the switching period is equal to the round-trip time in the external feedback cavity. The evolution of the two switching phenomena is experimentally investigated in detail. This work not only enriches the understanding of laser nonlinear dynamics but also provides an all-optical alternative for generation of special signals for possible applications.

“…The effect of polarization-rotated feedback has also been the subject of intense studies in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, which are known to possess a polarization switching mechanism, attributed to the cylindrical symmetry of such devices [14,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33].…”

We investigate experimentally and theoretically the dynamics of polarization modes in a semiconductor laser subject to optical feedback exclusively into its dominant polarization mode. The laser, despite being edge emitting, weakly supports the orthogonally polarized mode even in a solitary configuration, i.e., without optical feedback. When subject to optical feedback, the laser displays transition behavior from correlated to anticorrelated dynamics between the polarization modes as a function of the injection current strength. We construct a theoretical model based on the Lang-Kobayashi rate equations to describe these results. We include coupling between the two polarization modes in the gain medium to reflect persistence of the second mode in both solitary configuration and under external feedback. With this coupling, the model can reproduce the observed experimental results.
