The authors present a new type of optically bistable phase modulator utilizing a self electrooptic effect device (SEED) integrated with an electrooptic wavelength modulator. An electrically bistable SEED, operating on the principle of the quantum-confined Stark effect, controls the bias voltage across an electrooptic waveguide phase modulator to produce optical bistability. A control signal at 0.848 mu m, corresponding to the first electron to heavy hole exciton transition in GaAs/AlGaAs multiple-quantum-well is used to switch 1.152 mu m light propagating through a waveguide in a direction normal to the control beam.<
