Abstract :
Pure frequency-induced polarization testability of a 1550 nm single-mode VCSEL subject to orthogonal optical injection has been observed. The hysteresis width becomes constant when the injection power is greater than a value Pnu. Power-induced polarization bistability is also found near Pnu.
