Polarization Control of Surface Emitting Lasers by Anisotropic Biaxial Strain

Abstract
In order to control the polarization direction of surface emitting lasers, we have introduced biaxial tension in the active layer. By making an elliptical etch well, we introduce the anisotropic strain in the active region. We experimentally demonstrated polarization stabilization along the major axis of the elliptically holed region.
