title: Experimental and theoretical study of vibrational resonance in a bistable system with asymmetry.
abstract: We present a theoretical and experimental study of the phenomenon of vibrational resonance in a bistable vertical cavity surface emitting laser with asymmetrical double-well quasipotential. Several relations, found analytically, are compared with the experimental and numerical results. Additionally, we investigate the effect of additive noise.
