Phase-Sensitive All-Optical Switching with Ultra-Low Control Power Using Silicon-Wire Directional Coupler

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A phase-sensitive all-optical switching in a 4 mm long silicon-wire directional coupler with the control power of 10 μW is demonstrated in a numerical experiment. The switching speed is limited by the carrier lifetime.
