Abstract: | The static and dynamical properties of cavity solitons in a vertical cavity surface emitting
laser with optical injection are investigated.
Analytical results about the instabilities affecting the homogeneous steady state are
presented. These instabilities play a key role in the determination of the necessary and
favorable conditions for cavity soliton existence. Optimization of an all-optical delay
line by tuning the injected field frequency leads to a five fold increase of the soliton
velocity in the transverse plane. Finally, the phenomenon of cavity soliton merging is
applied to combine input signals in optical information processing and to manipulate two
dimensional optical memories. |
