Abstract

We report the the first demonstration of optically bistable switching in monolithic opto-electronic transistor configuration using all III-V components. A strained InGaAs/GaAs asymmetric Fabry-Perot (ASFP) modulator / detector, a strained resonant tunneling diode (RTD), and a GaAs based field-effect-transistor (FET) were used in this demonstration.
