Abstract
We report on the first observation of the self-electro-optic effect in II-VI CdTe/CdZnTe heterostructures. At low temperature, wide modulati on of the excitonic absorption is produced by applying an electric fie ld of 5 x 10(4) V cm(-1). This makes possible the realization of a sel f-electro-optic effect device working at 774 nm with a switching power of hundreds of microwatts.
