Abstract
A polarisation control method for surface emitting lasers is proposed. By preparing high refractive index films on one side of dielectric multilayer reflector walls, a differential loss for orthogonal polarisations can be provided. A GaAlAs-GaAs device was fabricated based on this design and the polarisation control has been demonstrated up to 1.4 times the threshold.
