  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. In this paper, we present the first resuits, to our knowledge, of an NpnP optical thyristor structure embedded inside a planar microcavity. This is expected to boost the efficiency of both the emission and the detection. Additionally, the structure contains three InGaAs quantum wells (QWs) in the lower junction of the thyristor.
