  • Abstract
    A new high-speed, high-power optoelectronic device, with a double heterostructure, is proposed and demonstrated. The device has bistable electrical characteristics where light emission occurs in the on-state. The high optical power output was measured to be 209¿W at 100 mA. The transient electrical and optical rise times have been measured to be 500 ps and 1 ns, respectively.
