Abstract
The authors report a novel optical bistable device, the resonant-tunne lling triangular-barrier optoelectronic switch (R-TOPS), which consist s of a double-barrier resonant-tunnelling diode and a triangular-barri er phototransistor. Clear negative differential resistance and bistabi lity with high contrast and high sensitivity are demonstrated.
