Abstrakt: Optical bistability at 5 mW input power at 840 nm is reported in Al0.06Ga0.94As étalons grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy, having an epitaxially grown high-reflecting back mirror. The devices have been switched from the high-reflecting to the low-reflecting state with pulses from a laser diode operating at 778 nm with 10 pJ switching energy. The devices could be thermally stable for as long as 200 μs. The experimental results are compared with a simple theoretical model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
