Abstract(in English) In this work, time-resolved optical measurements of GaAs/AlAs multilayer cavities with the Er-doped InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in strain-relaxed InGaAs barriers were investigated for ultrafast all-optical switches. The nonlinear signal due to the absorption saturation in the 20-layer stack of the Er-doped QDs became large by increasing In composition in the strain-relaxed InGaAs barriers while keeping the extremely short decay time. The QD-cavity structures consisting of two GaAs/AlAs distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) multilayers and a half-wavelength cavity layer containing two layers of the Er-doped QDs were grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The transmission change signal was clearly observed in the time-resolved measurements at the cavity mode wavelength of 1.55μm. The response time of the Er-doped QD-cavity was 4ps, which was much shorter than that (12ps) of the undoped QD-cavity.
