A photoeletronic bistable device with selectable light output channels has been fabricated for implementation in photonic switching and processing systems. The device is a variation of the vertical to surface transmission electrophotonic device. Output in the stimulated light emission mode was successfully obtained from different waveguide channels by external electronic switching. Output channels could be switched at a rate of 400 Mb/s. The potential versatility of this device has been experimentally confirmed in programmable or switchable optical interconnections.
