  • Abstract
    We demonstrate all-optical pump-probe switching in electrically-pumped microdisks fabricated on InGaAsP/InP using gain-saturation optical non-linearity to achieve switching at lower powers than in passive devices. A pseudo-microdisk design combines the best of microrings and disks.
