Abstract :
We discuss the use of active and passive InP membrane structures, heterogeneously integrated onto SOI passive circuits, for switching applications such as gating, wavelength conversion and all-optical flip-flopping. Devices include microdisk lasers and resonators, as well as travelling wave structures, in either electrically pumped or unpumped configuration. We also pay some attention to the fabrication aspects.
