Abstract
The thin-film semiconductor interferometers arc considered as dimensional optical and electric structures. It is shown that in bistable devices based on A2B6 and A3B5 semiconductors thin-film interferometers a switching time of ~ 10-12 s and switching energy of ~ 104 photons/device can be obtained.
