Semiconductor laser bistable operation with an adjustable trigger
Abstract
Hysteresis is demonstrated in the light output versus current characteristics of twin-stripe injection lasers subject to optical injection. The sensitivity of the device to optical injection is adjustable and allows an adjustable switch for bistable operation to be defined.
