Abstract:
A method for controlling the polarization characteristics of the radiation of a dual-wavelength vertical external cavity surface-emitting laser (VECSEL) is proposed. It is shown that a retarder of a special kind used as a part of the laser cavity allows the excitation of laser radiation with components in nearly mutually transverse polarization planes.
