The materialwas integrated in high-frequency switches which can be opticallytoggled between their ON and OFF-states in a bi-stable manneron large frequency bands, up to 67 GHz. %G English %L hal-01611518 %U https://unilim.hal.science/hal-01611518 %~ UNILIM %~ CNRS %~ XLIM %~ XLIM-SRF %~ XLIM-RFEI %~ TEST-HALCNRS
