Abstract(in English) To realize highly integrated optical memory elements for optical random access memory (RAM) application, common single-current driving condition must be realized for all the integrated devices even in case of their further downsizing. We demonstrate wide hysteresis window bi-stable laser diodes (BLDs) based on active multimode interferometer (MMI) using different lateral propagation modes. They have a superior controllability in the portion of cross-gain saturation (XGS) region length, which leads to wide hysteresis allowing common single-current driving for the integrated devices. The implemented devices showed extremely wide and uniform hysteresis windows of 32mA±2mA (operation current around 70mA), with relatively high ON/OFF ratio of 18dB in 315x600μm^2 total device size.
