Abstract
Pitchfork bifurcation polarisation bistability has been observed experimentally in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser for the first time. All-optical flipflop operation has been successfully demonstrated by injecting the trigger light inputs having the two orthogonal polarisations.Keywords
