Abstract
We report on bistability in VCSEL involving two linear and orthogonal polarizations. The domain of coexistence is extended to the full current range of the device. We demonstrate control of the polarization state by perturbing optically the VCSEL. We show that the induced polarization state is recovered after having turned off and on the device.
