Emission intensity patterns and spectra of a two-transverse-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) were observed and measured while the position and polarization of an optical feedback light were controlled. Lasing behavior was discussed in relation to linear polarization modes. The observed emission point shift with unchanged wavelengths was explained by the superposition of two newly appeared modes.
