Abstract

Optical bistability (OB) in passive nonlinear etalons such as those containing MQWs of GaAs/AlGaAs is a promising alternative to other bistable optical switching mechanisms such as those which occur in semiconductor lasers and laser amplifiers.1 Although OB in passive nonlinear etalons is somewhat slower, it is much more easily extendable to one- and two-dimensional arrays of switches, as required for optical image processing and time division demultiplexing.
