摘要：

Symmetric self-electro-optic effect devices (S-SEEDs) using extremely shallow GaAs/Al0.04Ga0.96As multiple quantum wells are demonstrated. By exploiting mainly exciton ionization, rather than the usual quantum-confined Stark shift, room-temperature optical bistability is obtained with no applied bias. The extremely shallow symmetric-SEED (symmetric E-SEED) exhibits contrast ratios (CRs) congruent-to 3.5, with biasses < 5 V, demonstrating system applicability and compatability with electronics. Large system tolerances DELTA-lambda congruent-to 6 nm and maximum bistability loop width congruent-to 70% are also obtained. Moreover, due to fast carrier escape times, the symmetric E-SEED exhibits useful CRs > 2 even at continuous-wave intensities > 70-mu-W/mu-m2.
