摘要：

We report a 27:1 switching contrast ratio with 2.5 mW of power in an asymmetric Fabry-Perot etalon. The modulation is achieved by optical saturation of the excitonic absorption profile of a 95 angstrom GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well structure grown on a high-reflectivity dielectric stack mirror.
