The dream of the all‐optical processing of information has motivated efforts over the past decade to create sensitive semiconductors that have large optical nonlinearities. Semiconductors have been the medium of choice in part because a well‐developed materials technology has already been built around them. One can design semiconductor structures easily and predict their performance accurately.
