Popis:	The optically controlled laser, consisting of a main semiconductor laser with an associated control beam, is important for integrated high-speed optical signal processing and for optical communications. The optically controlled laser rate equations, the gain, and the wavelength-dependent transfer function are derived from the Liouville equation for the density matrix describing a system with multiple perturbing optical fields. The results explain the primary effects of coherent and noncoherent control signals upon the output of the main laser (illustrated with experimental data). Predictions are obtained for optical gain, wavelength conversion, and FM-to-AM demodulation.
