Abstract(in English) We have demonstrated an all-optical memory by using InGaAsP/InP buried heterostructure photonic crystal (BH-PhC) lasers. We achieved distinct optical injection locking bistability with only 25μW pump power, which is two orders less than any other type of bistable semiconductor lasers. Dynamic memory operations were achieved with 22μW bias power and 60 ps switching time. A wide bistable range both in switching power and injection wavelength was achieved and showed that it is sufficiently robust for practical usage. The InGaAsP/InP BH-PhC laser shows great potentials for realizing logic elements for all-optical signal processing.
