Abstract :
Cavity solitons in a driven vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) above threshold can amplify the modulation of the injected field over a bandwidth larger than 100 GHz by exploiting the combined low frequency amplification of a bistable optical system with the enhanced relaxation oscillation frequency of an injection-locked laser.
