This invention describes a multi-mode optical switching 
device comprising several regions interfacing with 
inorganic semiconductors. Each mode generates positrons 
and a photocurrent in several regions in response to 
control signals of different wavelengths of light. The 
photocurrent in each mode independently modulate the 
transmission of the high frequency control signals. 
Multiple hybrid optical devices can be transformed into 
optical interfaces by using light impulses in a manner 
similar to the electronic gates used in electronic systems. 
These devices can also perform as optical switches and 
optical interfaces between photoelectric elements. Arrays 
of hybrid optical devices create the opportunity for 
signal processing.
