Abstract
We present a CdS-SEED based on photothermal induced absorption optical bistability at room temperature. It is demonstrated, that this element may controll (a) photonics with photonics (whereby e.g. the gain of an optical transistor can be engineered via the applied voltage), (b) photonics with electronics (with big contrast ratio and voltages which are compatible with usual electronic logic levels) and (c) electronics with photonics with reasonable contrast ratio.
