Switchable polarization can be significantly suppressed in ferroelectric (FE) materials by electrical or optical processes. Electrical suppression can occur by subjecting the FE to repeated polarization reversals; optical suppression can occur while biasing the FE near the switching threshold and illuminating with bandgap light.
