摘要：

A new type of optically controlled 1x2 optical switch is experimentally demonstrated. It is based on a vertically arranged directional coupler in which the guiding regions are GaAs/GaAlAs multiple quantum wells. The device can not only be electrically switched in a very efficient way (5 V driving voltage for a 330 μm long sample) but also optically. When connected to a constant current source, the system shows high optical nonlinearities and can be ail-optically switched with very low incident optical power (of the order of a tenth of a milliwatt). © 1990 IEEE
