Abstract
We have investigated at the first time an all-optical switch using self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) within a vertical cavity structure. The optical nonlinearity of the QD switch has been optimized by an asymmetric cavity to achieve the maximum differential reflectivity. Optical switching via QD excited states exhibits a fast decay with a time constant down to 23 ps and a wavelength tunability over 30 nm. By compared to the theoretical design, the absorption strength of QD layers within the cavity has been determined.
