Abstract :
Semiconductor ring lasers (SRLs) are interesting devices for their applications in photonic integrated circuits. For example, bi-stable unidirectional regimes in monolithic SRLs open the possibility to use these lasers in systems for all-optical switching, gating, wavelength conversion and optical memories.
