Abstract :
Summary form only given. We investigate the polarization behavior and the mode structure of elliptical surface relief vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. The polarization direction is governed by the orientation of the index ellipsoid, whereas the lasing mode is determined by the losses anisotropy.
