  • Abstract
    An electrically controlled photonic memory switch which monolithically integrates a voltage-controlled bistable laser diode and an optical gate on an InP substrate is fabricated. Time-division optical signal processing such as pulsewidth conversion and a pulse delay control is successfully demonstrated.<>
