Abstract
In this paper, we report the first observation of a II-VI symmetric se lf-electro-optic device (SEED) operating as an optical switch at a wav elength of 488 nm at room temperature. Quantum confined Stark effect m odulators based on ZnSe/ZnCdSe p-i-n structures were fabricated by mol ecular beam epitaxy and used in the symmetric mode where one modulator was used to bias a second modulator which showed bistable transmissio n characteristics with a contrast ratio of 1.5:1 between the high and low transmission states.
