Mixed-state-polarization emission from external-cavity diode lasers through TE–TM mode coupling

Abstract

There is an increasing interest in compact, cost efficient laser sources capable of transverse-magnetic-mode (TM-mode) operation for such applications as frequency-doubled blue-green lasers1 and polarization switching.2 Accordingly, we present results of what we believe to be the first thorough and accurate experimental and theoretical investigation of external-cavity lasers operating in TE, TM, and mixed polarization states by means of a polarization-selective component within the laser cavity. Our analysis shows excellent agreement between experimental and theoretical results for single-quantum-well and double-heterojunction laser diodes. We also present a comparison of modulation dynamics for pure-TE and pure-TM operation for this cavity configuration.
