Abstract

Intrinsic optical bistability has been observed in a waveguide due to both optothermal [1] and optoelectronic [2,3] nonlinearities. In this paper we describe a bistable switching effect associated with mode distribution changes in a nonlinear leaky waveguide. The guide consisted of a Ga0.86Al0.14As layer, 3.6 μm thick and 200 μm, long bounded by GaAs and Ga0.9Al0.1As layers.
