Abstract

Recently, we have shown [Opt. Lett. 37, 4799 (2012) [CrossRef]  ] that the amount of unpolarized light, quantified by the degree of polarization (DOP), is strongly enhanced by increasing the oxide aperture of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). Here, we reveal the physical mechanism of the DOP reduction when investigating spatio-spectrally resolved Stokes polarization parameters of transverse multi-mode VCSELs. These results uncover a complementary polarization behavior of each particular transverse mode contributing to the total emission, resulting in the observed unpolarized state of light.
