Abstract :
Reverse emission state transition and simultaneous two-state mode-locking in a two-section quantum dot semiconductor laser is demonstrated. By exploiting a resistor Self-Electro-optic Effect Device (SEED) configuration, novel state-switched mode-locking and full emission state control is realized.
