Researchers have developed a new method to enhance polarization locking in Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs), which could enable novel computational applications like polarization-encoded Ising computers. The approach involves fabricating VCSELs with tailored oxide aperture designs and using bias current tuning to improve polarization dynamics. This method reduces the required injection power and expands the locking range, with experimental results showing strong coherence with analysis from the spin-flip model. AI
