Abstract

We fabricated polarization single-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers which are thermally induced wavelength-tunable using an internal mesa heater. A 6.21-nm tuning range was achieved with a 100-mA tuning current and a 6-mA driving current while maintaining continuous polarization-stable single-mode operation. The orthogonal polarization suppression ratio is more than 20 dB. In addition, we found stable linear polarization characteristics from the three mesas aligned along to the (01 - 1) crystal axis.
