Journal ArticleDOI

Roadmap on optical rogue waves and extreme events

TL;DR: The concept of optical rogue wave was introduced by Solli et al. as discussed by the authors, who defined it as "an optical pulse whose amplitude or intensity is much higher than that of the surrounding pulses".
Journal ArticleDOI

Deterministic polarization chaos from a laser diode

TL;DR: In this paper, the polarization of the output from a vertical-cavity surface emitting laser without the need for any external stimulus or feedback has been observed, and the origin is nonlinear coupling between two elliptically polarized modes within the device.
Journal ArticleDOI

PlaneWave Admittance Method — a novel approach for determining the electromagnetic modes in photonic structures

TL;DR: A novel approach for determining the electromagnetic modes of photonic multilayer structures is presented which combines the plane wave expansion method with the method of lines resulting in a fast and accurate computational technique which is named plane wave admittance method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polarization switching in VCSEL's due to thermal lensing

TL;DR: In this article, a mechanism for polarization switching in slightly anisotropic vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) based on index guiding due to the effect of thermal lensing was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optical feedback induces polarization mode hopping in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers.

TL;DR: Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers subjected to weak polarization-insensitive optical feedback are studied experimentally and theoretically and it is found that the feedback induces random anticorrelated hopping between the two orthogonal linearly polarized modes.
