摘要: The influence of feedback level (or the amplitude light) on laser polarization in polarized optical is investigated. A polarizer placed cavity to form feedback, and an attenuator tune level. intensity vary dramatically at different transmissivities attenuator. According experimental phenomenon, range transmissivity divided into three zones: flipping zone, monostable bistable zone. In always perpendicular axis cavity. This may provide effective way choose or control polarization. theoretical model based self-consistency oscillation presented analyze results.
