Abstract: It was found experimentally that GaAlAs heterolasers exhibit, like gallium arsenide homolasers, bistable operation under inhomogeneous injection conditions. The width of the hysteresis loop of the watt-ampere characteristic, governing the range of existence of bistable operation, reached 20 mA. Transient abrupt switching was observed.
