Abstract
The possibility of generating low chirped, fast optical pulses with li near polarization in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL's) is numerically explored, We show that, under the influence of an axia l magnetic field, polarization modulation at gigahertz rates can be ac hieved with possible applications in optical clock generation/extracti on and optical communications.
