摘要：

Two-mode vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) subject to external optical injection are investigated experimentally. The spectrum of a VCSEL with two parallel-polarized modes demonstrates significantly different behavior compared to that of a VCSEL with two orthogonally-polarized transverse modes. In the latter, external optical injection can be used to achieve single-mode operation. However, in the case of two parallel-polarized transverse modes, VCSEL single-mode operation cannot be obtained via optical injection. In this case, when the injection frequency is close to one of the modes, the coexistence of the injected beam and that mode gives rise to very rich dynamical behavior; however, the other mode is unperturbed by the optical injection.
