Polarization Properties of Optically Pumped VCSELs in a Transverse Magnetic Field

Gahl, A.; Balle, S.; San Miguel, M.
Quantum and Semiclassical Optics 10, L1-L5 (1998)

It is shown that the polarization ellipticity of light
emitted by a VCSEL, which is optically pumped with
circularly polarized light, depends significantly on the
strength of a transverse magnetic field. This dependence
can be used for a precise determination of the electron
spin relaxation rate under lasing conditions at room
temperature.
