Abstract

A new form of pitchfork-bifurcation-like polarization bistability in laser diodes that has major speed advantages over conventional S-shaped polarization bistability is reported. From the rate-equation analysis, it is shown that flip-flop operation with bit rates of higher than 50 Gbits/s may be achieved.
