| Popis: | We report the observation of bistable polarization switching in a vertical‐cavity surface‐emitting laser under optical injection. The wavelength dependence of the switching is measured. It is found that this polarization switching is achieved through injection locking where both the wavelength and the polarization of the vertical‐cavity laser are locked to the injected optical signal. |
