Abstract
A multistable operation in semiconductor laser amplifiers, based upon the carrier density dependence of the active region refractive index, is proposed. Simple analytical expressions describing the optical multistability are given, using the so-called antiguidance factor, which is the ratio of the decrease in the real refractive index to the increase in the imaginary refractive index.
