Modifying the rate equations of an injection-locked semiconductor laser, we have analyzed its optical bistability with the efiect of frequency chirping of injected light. Comparison between the bistable steady-state characteristics of the laser in two cases: With and without frequency chirping is done by studying the efiect of parameters such as frequency detuning, carrier injection rate, and cavity length. Then we have made a comparison between the bistable dynamic characteristics of the laser for these two cases. The results of the analysis show that the efiect of frequency chirping on the bistability behavior is negligible.
