    Optically bistable devices using asymmetric Fabry-Perot resonators achieve high contrast ratios at low voltages. Performance degrades with increasing light intensity due to saturation effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Optoelectronics
    • Nonlinear Optics
    • Semiconductor Devices

    Background:

    • Optically bistable devices are crucial for optical switching and signal processing.
    • Self-electro-optic-effect (SSEO) devices offer potential for integrated optical circuits.
    • Fabry-Perot resonators enhance light-matter interaction in optoelectronic devices.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate and evaluate optically bistable SSEO devices incorporating an asymmetric Fabry-Perot resonator.
    • To assess the contrast ratio and performance under varying light intensities and bias levels.
    • To investigate the wavelength sensitivity of these devices.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication and characterization of symmetric SSEO devices within an asymmetric Fabry-Perot resonator.

  • Measurement of contrast ratios at low bias voltages (under 6 V) and low optical intensities.
  • Assessment of device saturation by measuring contrast ratio changes with increasing irradiance (10 microW/microm^2).
  • Experimental and theoretical analysis of wavelength sensitivity.

    • Main Results:

    • High contrast ratios exceeding 30 were achieved at low bias levels.
    • The devices demonstrated ready saturation with increasing optical intensity.
    • Contrast ratio decreased by a factor of 3 at an irradiance of 10 microW/microm^2.
    • Wavelength sensitivity was measured and calculated, providing insights into operational bandwidth.

    Conclusions:

    • Asymmetric Fabry-Perot resonators enable high-contrast optical bistability in SSEO devices at low operating voltages.
    • Device performance is sensitive to optical intensity, exhibiting saturation that limits dynamic range.
    • Understanding wavelength sensitivity is critical for optimizing device design and application in optical systems.
