  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. Because of their cylindrical symmetry and surface emission, the material gain and waveguiding anisotropies in VCSELs are small. As a result, polarisation switching (PS) between two orthogonal linearly polarised states is often observed. We study experimentally the effect of in-plane uniaxial strain, resulting from an external stress applied to the VCSEL package.
