High-contrast optically bistable optoelectronic switch based on InGaAs/GaAs (100) asymmetric Fabry–Perot modulator, detector, and resonant tunneling diode

Abstract
The realization at room temperature of a high contrast ratio (20:1) and an on-state reflectivity of 46.5% in an optically bistable switch involving strained InGaAs/GaAs (100) multiple-quantum-well-based asymmetric Fabry–Perot reflection modulator, detector, and InGaAs/AlAs-based resonant tunneling diode and an Si field-effect transistor is reported.
