Abstract :
We report on polarization control of 850 nm 2times2 VCSEL array by metal nanoholes at rectangular lattice utilizing surface plasmon (SP) resonance. The polarization angle can be controlled to any specified directions by the direction of the lattice, of which the pitch meets the SP resonant condition. This VCSEL array is applicable to future polarization multiplexed optical communication
