Abstract

We report on the first successful operation of a novel bistable optical negative resistance device (BOND) proposed earlier. In this device the negative resistance of a modified resonant tunneling diode is used as non-linear feed back element to a quantum well Stark modulator. It has been found that the input/output characteristic of optical power shows a clear hysteresis, and the low power feature is confirmed with a switching power level as low as 600 microW.
