Abstract
We report results obtained from a symmetric-cavity Fabry-Perot quantum well modulator in GaAs/AlGaAs. A reflection-change of almost-equal-to 46% with an insertion loss of 1.3 dB are obtained in the normally-off mode under a reverse bias voltage of 7.5 V. Bistable operation is demo nstrated, for the first time using such devices, by connecting two mod ulators in the symmetric self-electro-optic effect device configuratio n.
