Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a thyristor laser with PiNiN structure. The device not only has the electrical characteristics of a thyristor, but also has the optical characteristics of a laser. Background technique [0002] With the development of optical switch devices, a series of important research results have been obtained for the pnpn structure optical switch as the main research object. Optical switches have important applications in optical memory, optical interconnection, routing, neural networks and other fields. In optical switching devices, optical thyristors have many advantages, such as fast switching speed, low switching energy consumption, etc. Current major researches are focused on faster switching speed and lower switching energy consumption. [0003] Photothyristor lasers can not only act as optical switches, but also emit laser light. Because the carriers in the middle layer of the traditional pnpn structure thyristor cannot be exhau...
