The quantum well self-electrooptic effect device: Optoelectronic bistability and oscillation, and self-linearized modulation

Abstract

We report extended experimental and theoretical results for the quantum well self-electrooptic effect devices. Four modes of operation are demonstrated: 1) optical bistability, 2) electrical bistability, 3) simultaneous optical and electronic self-oscillation, and 4) self-linearized modulation and optical level shifting. All of these can be observed at room-temperature with a CW laser diode as the light source. Bistability can be observed with 18 nW of incident power, or with 30 ns switching time at 1.6 mW with a reciprocal relation between switching power and speed. We also now report bistability with low electrical bias voltages (e.g., 2 V) using a constant current load. Negative resistance self-oscillation is observed with an inductive load; this imposes a self-modulation on the transmitted optical beam. With current bias, self-linearized modulation is obtained, with absorbed optical power linearly proportional to current. This is extended to demonstrate light-by-light modulation and incoherent-to-incoherent conversion using a separate photodiode. The nature of the optoelectronic feedback underlying the operation of the devices is discussed, and the physical mechanisms which give rise to the very low optical switching energy (∼4 fJ/ μm2) are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
