  • Abstract
    A cascadable optical triggering scheme for a bistable injection laser is proposed. By combining a tandem-structure bistable semiconductor laser and a pair of photoconductors, both switch-on and switch-off operations can be performed optically. Bistable operation at a repetitive frequency of 100 MHz is demonstrated with discrete devices.
