Increasing the birefringence splitting in single-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) enables high-speed polarisation dynamics which can be the basis to overcome the current bandwidth limitations in short-haul data transmission. The authors observe large birefringence splittings of up to 98 GHz in an oxide-confined AlGaAs-based VCSEL with a tailored integrated surface grating. Since surface gratings are routinely used in VCSEL production, there is a great potential of this technique to realise spin-VCSELs for ultrafast optical communication.

Abstract
Increasing the birefringence splitting in single-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) enables high-speed polarisation dynamics which can be the basis to overcome the current bandwidth limitations in short-haul data transmission. The authors observe large birefringence splittings of up to 98 GHz in an oxide-confined AlGaAs-based VCSEL with a tailored integrated surface grating. Since surface gratings are routinely used in VCSEL production, there is a great potential of this technique to realise spin-VCSELs for ultrafast optical communication.File in questo prodotto:
