Mesa Orientation Engineering for Polarization Locking in VCSELs

arXiv:2608.24075 · doi:10.1109/IPC65510.2025.11282171

Abstract

While polarization stability is common in many optical systems, intentional polarization bi-stability is also important for polarization-encoded computing. We propose a mesa orientation strategy to engineer the polarization switching of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). Further experiments demonstrate improved polarization locking performance.
