Abstract

For many applications in optical communication, fast and sensitive electro-optical interfaces are required. The high arid externally adjustable photoresponse of n-i-p-i doping superlattices1 make them promising candidates for such devices. If a suitable device geometry is chosen, their unique features can be used to realize a high gain electro-optical threshold switch operating at extremely low optical input powers.
