Abstract :
The turn-on jitter of zero-biased, polarization controlled single-mode VSCELs is investigated experimentally. It is found that during the turn-on event, both the suppressed polarization and transverse higher modes are existent yielding a reduction of the turn-on jitter. On the other hand, when the transmission link contains polarizations sensitive elements or spatial filtering this means that the turn-on jitter is significantly enhanced
