Transverse nonlinear optics has made possible the control of the spatial profile of the beam emitted by a laser as well as low-energy switching in a bistable laser operating with two doughnut modes. In related works conducted, the laser operates as a major decision element. This paper investigates the possibility of transverse mode switching in vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, which provide convenience owing to their small dimensions, fast response, and low lasing thresholds.

Abstract
Transverse nonlinear optics has made possible the control of the spatial profile of the beam emitted by a laser as well as low-energy switching in a bistable laser operating with two doughnut modes. In related works conducted, the laser operates as a major decision element. This paper investigates the possibility of transverse mode switching in vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, which provide convenience owing to their small dimensions, fast response, and low lasing thresholds.
