INCREASING ABSORPTION BISTABILITY IN HYBRID SILICON DEVICES AND THE CONTROL OF THE CHARACTERISTICS
Increasing absorption bistability is observed in hybrid thermooptical Si devices. The control of the characteristics by the applied voltage and the external resistance are discussed
CdS SELF-ELECTRO-OPTIC EFFECT DEVICE
We present a CdS-SEED based on photothermal induced absorption optical bistability at room temperature. It is demonstrated, that this element may controll (a) photonics with photonics (whereby e.g. the gain of an optical transistor can be engineered via the applied voltage), (b) photonics with electronics (with big contrast ratio and voltages which are compatible with usual electronic logic levels) and (c) electronics with photonics with reasonable contrast ratio
