Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The all-optical devices that employ an optical Kerr effect play an important role in future optical signal processing and communication systems, e.g., an optical memory and an optical logic gate. The optical Kerr effect is that a refractive index change depends on light intensity. We calculated the optical nonlinearity in direct band gap semiconductors. In this paper, we report the nonlinear refractive index coefficient and the nonlinear absorption coefficient at a signal wavelength of 1550nm. Also, switching characteristics of waveguide bistable devices are discussed with the optical nonlinearity in direct band gap semiconductors.
