Experimental Studies of the Generation Thresholds of Circularly Polarized Emission from Injection Semiconductor Lasers
摘要
Abstract
The dependences of the radiation intensity in various circular polarizations from injection surface-emitting lasers with a vertical chiral microcavity on the excitation current value were experimentally investigated. A sharp increase of the circular polarization degree of the laser emission from small values ∼5% to values >70% was observed at a current exceeding the threshold value. Considering the nonlinear optical properties of laser resonators, model calculations were performed, and the calculation results are in good agreement with the experiment.
