N2 - Two new dynamic-state switching phenomena areexperimentally observed in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laserwith polarization-preserved external-cavity optical feedback. Oneis switching between a steady state and a quasi-periodic state, andthe other is switching between two different steady states. Bothswitching phenomena occur in the same polarization and theswitching period is equal to the round-trip time in the externalfeedback cavity. The evolution of the two switching phenomena isexperimentally investigated in detail. This work not only enrichesthe understanding of laser nonlinear dynamics but also providesan all-optical alternative for generation of special signals forpossible applications.Index Terms— Semiconductor lasers, Vertical-cavity surfaceemitting lasers, Nonlinear dynamics, Dynamic-state switching
