Abstract
Time resolved polarisation characteristics of 1.3μm GaInAsP/InP-RW lasers are presented, showing the switching behaviour between the TE and TM mode as well as polarisation bistability. A switching time of about 50ps is observed for the transition between TE and TM polarisation under 900MHz current modulation. This is the shortest switching time measured so far.Keywords
