Abstract
This paper represents, to our knowledge, the first report of experimental observations of the polarization switching dynamics of a modulated 1.5-pm wavelength single-mode vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) under optical injection control. An injected optical beam with polarization orthogonal to that of the stand-alone VCSEL caused a dynamical instability of the laser polarization state near threshold. Successful switching of the polarization state of the output of the VCSEL modulated at 5 MHz was achieved.
