Enhanced Polarization Locking in VCSELs
arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.01857v1 Announce Type: cross While optical injection locking (OIL) of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) has been widely studied in the past, the polarization dynamics of OIL have received far less attention. Recent studies suggest that polarization locking via OIL could enable novel computational applications such as polarization-encoded Ising computers. However, the inherent polarization preference and limited polarization switchability of VCSELs hinder their use for such purposes.
