Abstract:
We report electrical control of the polarization state of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), The VCSEL is subject to strong external optical feedback (up to 6% of emission), with polarization controlled by a liquid-crystal (LC) element, It is found that the contrast ratio of the complete system can be enhanced compared to the contrast ratio of the LC element alone.
