The effects of a birefringence in a semiconductor laser are reported. We demonstrate Nπ (where N is an odd integer) phase retardation between the TE and TM modes in the laser output beam resulting in the phenomenon of counter rotation of the output polarization. A numerical value for the birefringence is estimated.
