Low power all-optical bistability in InGaAs-AlInAs superlattices : demonstration of a wireless self-electro-optical effect device
J. COUTURIER, Jean‐Christophe Harmand, Paul H. Voisin
We report the observation of optical transmission bistability at low temperature in unprocessed InGaAs-AlInAs superlattice PIN structures. Bistability results, in analogy with the self electro-optical effect device, from a positive feedback mecanism due to the interplay between Wannier-Stark effect, built-in field and screening by photocarriers.
