Abstract

A successful fabrication of semiconductor optical switch, similar in function to the self- electro-optic effect devices, is reported for the first time from MOCVD-grown GaAs/AlGaAs low barrier quantum well pin diodes (Al fraction, x equals 4%). A reflective 16 X 8 switch array and its performance are also reported. The maximum contrast ratio was found to be 2.9:1 at 5 V bias.
