Abstract :
To control the electric polarisation of output light in surface emitting (SE) lasers, the stress effect on the resonance model of SE lasers with an elliptical holed region is investigated. For the first time, polarisation switching by external stress has been observed and the relation between the polarisation characteristics and the structural dependence on stress clarified.
