  • Abstract
    The polarisation properties of quantum well vertical cavity surface emitting lasers are observed to be significantly different from their edge emitting counterparts. A near threshold, highly linearly polarised TEM00 mode whose direction varies randomly from one laser to the other is obtained. At higher currents, high order modes lase in a linear polarisation orthogonal to the fundamental mode. No polarisation selection rule is observed.
