Abstract
Polarisation switching between the TE and TM modes is demonstrated in an external-cavity semiconductor laser. A novel polarisation-selective external cavity with an intra-cavity electro-optic intensity modulator is used to switch the polarisation between two stable single-frequency oscillations
