Optical bistability in coupled-cavity semiconductor lasers
Optical bistability in coupled-cavity semiconductor lasers is a scholarly work by Niloy K. Dutta, published in 1984 in ''Journal of Applied Physics''. The main subjects of the publication include saturation, optical interconnect, optics, silicon photonics, quantum dot, bistability, materials science, semiconductor device, rate equation, optoelectronics, semiconductor laser theory, laser, hysteresis, semiconductor, semiconductor optical gain, and Optical bistability. The theoretical model is based on a set of generalized rate equations and shows that the bistable behavior is due to nonlinearities associated with above-threshold gain saturation.
