摘要: We report the first experimental observation of periodic oscillations in an optically spin-injected GaInNAs/GaAs 1300 nm VCSEL under CW pumping and operated at room temperature. show that stability can be controlled with pump ellipticity. 11 GHz were observed device subject to circularly-polarized (left or right) optical pumping. The highest RF oscillation power was found elliptically-polarized P = ±0.6. simulation results using SFM very good agreement experiments.
