Abstract
A simple method for achieving a widely tunable narrow-linewidth, single polarization state and single transverse mode lasing oscillation from a commercially available multimode vertical cavity surface-emitting laser by use of a coupled cavity is reported. The laser has a wavelength tuning range of more than along , a side-mode suppression ratio of , and an output power of from a multimode optical fiber at a bias current of . The laser was operated in a single state of polarization lasing oscillation without any polarization switching.
