Abstract

An opto-electronic device is described in which two index-guided semiconductor lasers are actively coupled by means of a control injection current. The behaviour of the device under differing conditions of optical injection is examined. It is shown to be possible to find light-sensitive and light-insensitive configurations for device operation. The control current can be used to tune the sensitivity of the device.
