Phys. Rev. B 63, 075318 (2001) [5 pages]Optical switching waves in III-V semiconductor microresonatorsReceived 1 September 2000; published 1 February 2001 Experimental evidence of optical switching waves in bistable semiconductor microresonators with fast electronic nonlinearity is presented. Depending on the level of the Gaussian excitation beam, both outward and inward propagating waves are observed. We discuss how their spatiotemporal dynamics influences the range of bistability. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
