“…In our most recent studies, a strong and ultrafast optical Kerr signal at ¼ 1:46 mm was demonstrated in a GaAs/AlAs multilayer cavity with two layers of self-assembled InAs QDs embedded in strain-relaxed In 0:35 Ga 0:65 As barriers. 14,15) The response time of the optical Kerr signal was less than 1 ps, and its intensity was about two orders of magnitude larger than that of the GaAs =2 cavity sample, which had no QDs, in the low excitation power regime. Jin et al also reported vertical-geometry all-optical switches utilizing reflectance modulation caused by nonlinear absorption saturation in conventional self-assembled InAs/GaAs QDs placed inside a GaAs/Al 0:8 Ga 0:2 As multialyer cavity, which operated in the wavelength range of approximately 1.2 mm.…”

“…We have demonstrated optical Kerr gate switches based on a GaAs=AlAs multilayer cavity with InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in strain-relaxed barriers. [10][11][12][13][14][15] The strong internal light electric field due to the cavity effects markedly enhances of nonlinear phase shift in the halfwavelength (λ=2) cavity layer containing QDs. Vertical geometry all-optical switches based on the reflectance modulation of conventional InAs QDs placed in a GaAs= AlAs multilayer cavity have also been demonstrate by Jin and coworkers.…”

“…We have demonstrated optical Kerr gate switches based on a GaAs/AlAs multilayer cavity with InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in strain-relaxed barriers. [10][11][12][13][14][15] The strong internal electric field of the cavity mode markedly enhances nonlinear phase shifts in the half-wavelength (/2) cavity layer containing QDs, which results in a strongly enhanced optical Kerr signal. 16) Vertical geometry all-optical switches based on the reflectance modulation of conventional InAs QDs placed in a GaAs/AlGaAs multilayer cavity have also been demonstrated by Jin and coworkers.…”
