Title: Multiple bistability and multistability in a Fabry-Perot laser diode amplifier

Journal Article · · IEEE J. Quant. Electron.; (United States)

The experimental observation of multiple bistability is reported, for the first time, in a semiconductor laser system using a laser diode amplifier with a long Fabry-Perot cavity. The condition for realization of multistability in a laser diode amplifier is also studied theoretically in connection with the gain saturation through the rate equation analysis.
