A. Gahl et al., POLARIZATION PROPERTIES OF OPTICALLY PUMPED VCSELS IN A TRANSVERSE MAGNETIC-FIELD, Quantum and semiclassical optics, 10(1), 1998, pp. 1-5
It is shown that the polarisation ellipticity of light emitted by a VC
SEL, which is optically pumped with circularly polarized light, depend
s significantly on the strength of the transverse magnetic field. This
dependence can be used for a precise determination of the electron sp
in relaxation rate under lasing conditions at room temperature.
