Abstract

In this paper, the transient response of an optical bistable device with optically controlled set and reset functions is analyzed. The device is made from a vertical integration of two heterojunction phototransistors (HPTs) and a laser diode (LD). One of the HPTs (HPT-A) is integrated just above the active layer of the LD and is utilized in the set operation, while the other HPT (HPT-B) is used to achieve the reset operation. The effect of the various device parameters on the set and reset operations is outlined. Finally, expressions for the rise time during the setting, and fall time during the resetting conditions are derived
