Abstract
An all‐optical logic gate consisting of a GaAs‐GaAlAs multiple quantum well structure inserted in a 1.3‐μm‐thick Fabry–Perot cavity is demonstrated to perform with subpicosecond on and off switching time. The use of a purely optical field effect allows for a recovery time as rapid as the switch‐on time.Keywords
