  • Abstract
    Data are presented demonstrating optical switching and memory in a bistable vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). Optical switching from lasing to nonlasing or from nonlasing to lasing in the vertical-cavity laser was demonstrated using an AlGaAs probe laser at approximately 0.78 mu m.<>
