abstract = {In this paper we report on a theoretical investigation of the
nonlinear dynamics of the polarization of multitransverse mode
vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) under current
modulation. Special attention is given to the comparison with a
previously studied case of single-transverse mode VCSEL emitting
in two orthogonal polarizations. The consideration of spatial
effects in VCSEL modifies the polarization dynamics that
accompanies the period doubling route to chaos for large
modulation amplitudes. Depending on the modulation parameters,
the excitation of a higher order transverse mode may either
induce chaotic pulsing in an otherwise regularly pulsating VCSEL,
or induce a time-periodic pulsing dynamics in an otherwise
chaotic VCSEL. Bifurcation diagrams obtained for different
modulation frequencies, several values of the dichroism, and
different transverse mode characteristics allow us to identify
the different scenarios of polarization dynamics in a directly
modulated VCSEL. Temporal analysis of carrier number radial
profile reveals considerable changes for the multitransverse mode
case only constituting the physical origin of the reported
changes in the temporal and polarization dynamics.},
