Abstract :
Novel optoelectronic bistabilities in a resonant-tunnelling triangular-barrier optoelectronic switch (R-TOPS) are reported. Optically controlled S-shaped and N-shaped NDRs were observed simultaneously in a single device. Different types of optoelectronic bistabilities originated from S-shaped and N-shaped NDRs were obtained by changing the input light power
