Nonlinear polarization dynamics in directly modulated vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers.
A current-modulated vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser is shown to exhibit interesting nonlinear dynamics in its two orthogonal linearly polarized (LP), fundamental transverse modes. The intensities of the two LP modes may exhibit in-phase time-periodic dynamics or chaotic regimes with combination of in-phase and antiphase dynamics at two different time scales. Chaotic dynamics are found in a large range of laser and modulation parameters.
