Abstract
Spin-controlled lasers are highly interesting photonic devices and have been shown to provide ultra-fast polarization dynamics in excess of 200 GHz. Another class of modern semiconductor lasers are high-beta emitters which benefit from enhanced light-matter interaction due to strong mode confinement in low-mode-volume microcavities. We combine the advantages of both laser types to demonstrate spin-lasing in high-beta microlasers for the first time. For this purpose, we realize bimodal high-beta quantum dot micropillar lasers for which the mode splitting and the polarization-oscillation frequency can be engineered via the pillar cross-section. The microlasers show very pronounced spin-lasing effects with polarization oscillation frequencies up to 15 GHz.
