We introduce a spin-flip model for a broad-area vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with a saturable absorber. We demonstrate simultaneous existence of orthogonally linearly polarized and elliptically polarized cavity solitons. We show that polarization degree of freedom leads to a period-doubling route to spatially localized chaos of the elliptically polarized cavity solitons.

带有饱和吸收体的广域VCSEL中椭圆偏振腔孤子的局部混沌

我们为具有饱和吸收体的广域垂直腔面发射激光器（VCSEL）引入了自旋翻转模型。我们证明了正交线性极化和椭圆极化腔孤子的同时存在。我们表明极化自由度导致椭圆极化的腔孤子的空间局部混沌的倍频路径。
