Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) combine compact geometry, low threshold current, and ease of integration, making them central to modern photonic systems. However, their polarization behavior remains a critical factor…
Adding spin-polarized carriers to semiconductor lasers strongly changes their properties and, through the transfer of angular momentum, leads to the emission of circularly polarized light. In such spin-lasers, the polarization of the…
A general model for the dynamics of arrays of coupled, spin-polarised lasers is derived, which is shown to reduce to both the spin flip model in a single cavity and the coupled mode model for a pair of guides in the appropriate limit. The…
Experiments and their interpretation on polarization dynamics and polarization switching in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers operated in the fundamental transverse mode regime are reviewed. Important observations are switching events…
Lasers can exhibit nonlinear and chaotic dynamics driven by the interaction of multiple lasing modes, and investigating the different scenarios of mode competition and bifurcations of their dynamics is of great interest on a fundamental…
Injecting spin-polarized carriers into semiconductor lasers provides important opportunities to extend what is known about spintronic devices, as well as to overcome many limitations of conventional (spin-unpolarized) lasers. By developing…
We formulate an analytical model for vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with injection (pump) of spin-polarized electrons. Our results for two different modes of carrier recombination allow for a systematic analysis of the…
Semiconductor spin lasers are distinguished from their conventional counterparts by the presence of spin-polarized carriers. The transfer of angular momentum of the spin-polarized carriers to photons provides important opportunities for the…
The spin-flip model describing optically pumped spin-polarized vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers is considered. The steady-state solutions of the model for elliptically-polarised fields are studied. Asymptotic analysis for the…
While optical injection locking (OIL) of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) has been widely studied in the past, the polarization dynamics of OIL have received far less attention. Recent studies suggest that polarization…
Spin lasers leverage electron spin-polarisation to control photon polarisation, offering the potential for lower thresholds, rapid modulation, and all-optical data processing. We report successful spin injection into a commercial Vertical…
A new technique based on superposition of two speckle patterns is proposed and demonstrated for controlled modulation of the spatial polarization distribution of the resultant speckle. It is demonstrated both theoretically and…
The paper presents an experimental study of the temporal behaviour of a bistable vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) under the effect of optical feedback coming from vibrating diffusely-reflecting surface. We demonstrate that a…
Similar to light polarization that is selected by a superposition of optical basis, electron spin direction can be controlled through a superposition of spin basis. We investigate such a spin interference occurring in photoemission of the…
The properties of a dual-frequency vertical external cavity surface emitting laser (VECSEL), in which two linear orthogonal polarization modes are oscillating simultaneously, are theoretically investigated. We derive a model based on the…
In the optical pumping systems based on the pump-probe arrangement, the spin polarization of the atoms is generally monitored utilizing the probe laser beam, in which way an extra perturbation must be introduced and thus affects the normal…
A rate equation model describing the laser dynamics of general one or two dimensional vertical cavity surface emitting laser (vcsel) arrays is introduced. It is shown that the theory includes both the previous theory for edge emitting…
The transmission of a pump laser resonant with the lower polariton branch of a semiconductor microcavity is shown to be highly dependent on the degree of circular polarization of the pump. Spin dependent anisotropy of polariton-polariton…
We theoretically analyze the nonlinear dynamics and routes to chaos in a multimode vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (MM-VCSEL) in free-running operation. Including higher order transverse modes (TMs) results in additional bifurcations…
The long-term lasing dynamics of Brillouin Fiber Lasers was recently shown to be governed by an intrinsic thermal feedback which stabilizes the lasing frequency at the lower half of the gain line. We show that this feedback can be utilized…
