Abstract

Expressions are derived for the polarization switching time for semiconductor laser radiation. These expressions can be used to assess the influence of the laser diode parameters on the polarization switching time of the output radiation. The results of an analysis of these expressions show that the main parameters influencing the polarization switching of the output radiation from a semiconductor laser are the nonlinear gains.
