“…[8,9] The emitted light of VCSELs is typically polarized along one of two orthogonal crystal axes due to the cylindrical geometry of the cavity with polarization anisotropy, and a small variation of bias current or device temperature may induce polarization instability. Especially, rich nonlinear dynamical behaviors can be generated by introducing one or more external degrees of freedom in VCSELs, [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] where polarization switching (PS) and polarization bistability (PB) in a VCSEL have shown some promising applications, including all-optical logic gate, all-optical signal processing, and optical storage, and so on. [26][27][28][29][30][31] Introducing optical injection is an effective technique to obtain PS and PB in VCSELs.…”
