Abstract

A gate-controlled Si-LED is described where the light intensity is modulated via an insulated MOS gate voltage. It is found that the light intensity is a quadratic function of the applied gate voltage. This non-linear relationship facilitates new applications, such as the mixing of electrical input signals and modulating the optical output signal.
