abstract = {We present a comprehensive study of the bifurcation routes in a
generic model of a two-polarization-mode semiconductor laser when
subject to orthogonal optical injection, relevant to a
single-transverse-mode verticalcavity surface-emitting laser. For
positive detunings, polarization switching (PS) occurs as the
intensity of the noninjected mode gradually decreases and
eventually shuts down, in some cases accompanied along the way by
the onset and the subsequent vanishing of relaxation
oscillations. We identify a Hopf bifurcation on a
twopolarization-mode solution, which supports the onset of
relaxation oscillation time-periodic dynamics in both injected
(x-linearly polarized) and noninjected (y-linearly polarized)
modes. For sufficiently large negative detunings, PS is a sharp
transition occurring either at the injection-locking point or at
a subcritical Hopf bifurcation and is often part of a hysteresis
cycle.}
