"33 ps optical switching of symmetric self-electro-optic effect devices" Applied
Physics Letters 57, 1843-1845, (1990). We report significant improvement in the optical switching times of symmetric self-electro-optic effect devices due to enhanced tunneling by using a 35 A barrier versus the previous 60 A barrier thick multiple quantum well GaAs/AlGaAs devices. Also, the voltage required for bistability was reduced from 10 V in the thick barrier devices to 3 V in the thin barrier devices with no apparent degradation in the contrast ratio. |
