A concept of semiconductor optical routing device utilizing minority carrier drift

A novel concept of semiconductor optical routing device for short distance optical communication system, such as a board to board communication or grid computing. A semiconductor optical routing devices utilizing minority-carrier-drift was discussed. The feasibility of a multi-channel dynamic semiconductor optical routing devices operating for the first time. P-type modulation doped heterostructures were designed for SORDs. At room temperature PL emission from the Al/sub 0.9/Ga/sub 0.1/As barrier layers.
