Abstract :
High resolution spectral measurements on a commercial VCSEL array are reported. The authors observe frequency splittings that result from birefringence, typically 3-22 GHz, and from transverse anisotropy between differently oriented first-order modes, typically 3-17 GHz. The spectral splittings between the various transverse modes are found to be independent of polarisation
