Abstract
We discuss new studies of a multiple quantum well hetero n-i-p-i structure which combines the advantages of multiple quantum wells and doping superlattices. The structure exhibits large changes in its absorption coefficient and refractive index for intensities of only a few mW/cm2. We propose incorporating the structure into a semiconductor dielectric mirror for use as an all optical switch with very low operating intensities.
