Abstract :
We present measurements of optoelectronic bistability in hybrid distributed AlAs/GaAs Bragg reflectors. A threshold optical input power of 40 ¿uW is observed leading to an estimated switching energy of 0.1 fJ¿m¿2 Using voltage shift of 60 V and an optical input power of 100 nW. an electroptical modulation of 40 % is obtained.
