Low-Power All-Optical Switching through Frozen Light at Degenerate Band Edges

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We predict that nonlinear waveguides designed to support frozen light at degenerate band edges enable tunable bistable response and orders-of-magnitude lower all-optical switching threshold compared to conventional slow-light at regular band-edges.
