Abstract :
Lasing was suppressed by light injection into a bistable laser diode due to gain quenching of the lasing mode. Based on this phenomenon and optically triggered lasing due to saturable absorption, an optical exclusive-OR function is demonstrated using a tunable wavelength conversion laser diode.
