1979 Miller & Smith in Optics Communications XXXI. 101/2 We report the first realisation of an optically bistable device in a semiconductor crystal as well as observation of differential gain both in one beam and, via the modulation of the transmission of one laser beam by a second, in a two beam system. This latter device is analogous to the three terminal transistor and, operating by transferred phase thickness, we term it a ‘transphasor’.

1984 Sunday Times 18 Mar. 80/1 In a transistor a small electrical current can be used to switch an electrical voltage between a high and a low value... The transphasor does exactly the same thing with laser beams.
