“…Such an experiment is most relevant to the optical A/D, as it simulates the comparison function [12]. In the clocked switching process, two different low power beams are compared by the S-SEED, which is set into one of two voltage states.…”

Abstract-A simulation of S-SEED switching based upon experimental data is developed that includes the effect of critical slowing down. The simulation's accuracy is demonstrated by close agreement with the results from experimental S-SEED switching. The simulation is subsequently used to understand how the phenomenon of critical slowing down applies to switching of an S-SEED and how the effect on photonic analog-to-digital (A/D) converter performance may be minimized.Index Terms-Critical slowing down, optical bistability, self-electrooptic-effect device (SEED).

“…S-SEEDs have been proposed for use in other applications, such as smart pixels, A/D converters, dynamic memories and oscillator circuits, as well as for digital logic [65][66][67]. It is too soon to say whether the S-SEED will evolve into the basic element of future optical computers, but it is definitely a potential candidate because of its small size and relatively low switching energy.…”

In all of the devices discussed in previous chapters the dimensions of device structures were large compared to the wavelength of electrons in the device. When the dimensions of the structure are reduced to the point at which they are approaching the same order of magnitude as the electron wavelength some unique properties are observed. This is the case with a class of devices that have come to be known as "quantum well" devices, which feature very thin epitaxial layers of semiconductor material. This chapter will introduce the basic concepts of quantum wells and will describe some of the novel kinds of devices that can be made by using them. Improved lasers, photodiodes, modulators and switches can all be made by employing quantum well structures. Quantum well devices can be monolithically integrated with other optical and electronic devices to produce optical integrated circuits and opto-electronic integrated circuits.
