Bistability of a Bistable Laser Diode Integrated Monolithically with a Photodetector
与光探测器单片集成双稳半导体激光器的特性

We report the first observation of bistability in an integrated bistable laser diode arisingfrom output feedback pumping.The circuit is very simple and the reliability is excellent.Thewidth of hysteresis loop can be controlled and adjusted in a large range according to therequirement.The steady state behavior of this kind of bistable laser has been considered basedon the rate-equations of semiconductor diode laser.There is a good agreement between the experimentalresult and the theoretical calculation.
