Title: Optical-fiber-coupled optical bistable semiconductor lasers

Journal Article · · Chin. Phys. Lasers; (United States)
OSTI ID:6627560

A compact, low input power optical bistable device, consisting of a photodetector, an optical fiber directional coupler, and a semiconductor laser diode, was presented. The principle is described graphically to explain the observed effects such as hysteresis, differential operational gain and memory functions.
