27. The initial emission peak on a given polarization component is due to Rayleigh scattering due to the surface or interface defects in the Bragg mirrors. See, e.g., W. Langbein and J. M. Hvam, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.047401 88, 047401 (2002). The polarization components of this peak increase linearly with the excitation power (see Figs. 3 4), and the associated circular and linear polarization degrees are identical to the excitation laser ones.
