Abstract

Self-electrooptic effect devices1-3 (SEEDs) have great potential for use in photonic switching and optical computing systems. Although the devices have demonstrated low switching energies per unit area, the devices that have been reported in the literature to date are large and have optical switching energies in the 100s of picojoules and switching speeds in the 10s of nanoseconds. To achieve the best possible performance, a device must work at lower energies as the devices are made smaller. Diode biased SEEDs2 have shown performance scaling in going from (200-μm)2 to (60-μm)2 mesa sizes.
