A memory diagram, or regions where pattern effects appear at the output of the laser, in the bias current versus modulation plane is obtained, both by numerical simulation of the rate equations and by using an analytical approach. A simple method, based on the superposition of the turn-on time probability distribution for the periodic sequence ``...1111...'' of input bits and the turn-on time probability distribution obtained from repetitive gain-switching, is used to describe the response of the laser to a pseudorandom word modulation of the injection current.
