Bidirectional laser triggering of planar device based on vanadium dioxide thin film.
By incorporating a 1550 nm laser diode, bidirectional laser triggering was investigated in a two-terminal planar device based on vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin film grown by sol-gel method. A specific bias voltage range enabling the bidirectional laser triggering was experimentally found from the current-voltage characteristics of the VO2-based device, which was measured in a current-controlled mode. At a bias voltage selected within the range, 10 mA bidirectional triggering was implemented with a maximum amplitude switching ratio of ~68.2, and the transient responses of light-triggered currents were also analyzed.
