Both theoretical analysis and experiment show that a small amount of gain or loss modulation is sufficient to cause switching between two oscillating modes.application/pdfapplication/pdfOptical switches; Semiconductor junction lasersLight modulation; Optical bistability; Optical switches; Optical switching mechanism; Semiconductor lasersOptical switching in two-mode semiconductor lasers via gain or loss modulationjournal article2-s2.0-3142537298
