In this paper dynamic responses of optical polarization bistability and self-sustained pulsation in transverse-magnetic (TM) wave injection semiconductor lasers are analyzed. Due to the TM wave injection, laser amplification of TM wave and laser oscillation in the transverse-electric (TE) mode simultaneously occur in the laser. The calculated dynamic responses of optical polarization bistability are compared with measured responses. The upper limit of the switching time and the repetition frequency are clarified from calculation. The self-sustained pulsation triggered by change of TM input power is found in the course of calculation. The conditions needed for the pulsation are discussed.
