Abstract

A basic structure and operation principles of self electro-optic effect device's (SEED's) are described. Its equivalent resistance-capacitance (RC) model is applied to obtain SEED's voltage-time (V-t) characteristic and voltage-radius (V-r) diffusion characteristic expressions. SEED's switch performances with different radiuses of input control beams are compared by simulation. Simulations reveal that SEED's switch characteristic can be effectively improved with a small input radius, and also SEED can only keep its excellent switch characteristic at the input light beam's center.
