Abstract
The static and dynamic amplification of an external beam in a vertical-cavity surface emitting laser structure is demonstrated experimentally. A high gain of 20 dB and a fast response of 60 ps, as well as a narrow amplification bandwidth, make the device very interesting for active optical filtering and switching
