The correlated intensity fluctuations in the two polarization modes ( x and y) of a TEM00 vertical-cavity semiconductor laser are studied experimentally and theoretically. We show that the dynamics of the laser polarization and total output power are almost completely decoupled, and demonstrate how the frequency dependence of the correlation function Cxy is related to dichroism and relaxation oscillations. @S1050-2947 ~99!08211-6#
