Abstract:One of the critical problems in achieving a real practical all-optical switching devices is the requirement for a strong material nonlinearity. A strong material nonlinearity is crucial in order to achieve a low switching power. However, silicon-based all-optical switches require extremely high switching power due to its relatively weak nonlinear optical properties. To overcome this limitation, we have designed an all-optical switch configuration based on silicon microring resonator structure and demonstrated … Show more
