All-optical switching using Kerr effect in a silica toroid microcavity.
We demonstrate experimentally an all-optical switching operation using the Kerr effect in a silica toroid microcavity. Thanks to the small mode volume and high quality factor of the silica toroid microcavity, we achieved on-chip optical Kerr switching with an input power of 2 mW. This value is the smallest among all previously reported on-chip optical Kerr switches. We also show that this value...
متن کاملAll-optical sampling and magnification based on XPM-induced focusing.
We theoretically and experimentally investigate the design of an all-optical magnification and sampling function free from any active gain medium or additional amplified spontaneous noise emission. The proposed technique is based on the co-propagation of an arbitrary shaped signal together with an orthogonally polarized intense fast sinusoidal beating within a normally dispersive optical fiber....
متن کاملOptical Kerr effect spectroscopy of simple liquids.
In this paper, we review the state of the field of optical Kerr effect (OKE) spectroscopy of simple liquids, with a focus on results from our laboratory. We discuss the history and the theoretical underpinnings of this technique. We consider contemporary issues in the interpretation of OKE spectra, including the origin of the "intermediate" response and the factors affecting the shape of the re...
متن کاملNondegenerate Optical Kerr Effect in Semiconductors
We calculate the nondegenerate bound electronic nonlinear refractive index n2 ( w1; w2) (i.e., an index change at frequency w1 due to the presence of a beam at frequency w2) in semiconductors. We calculate this nonlinearity and its disper~ sion using a Kramers-Kronig transformation on the calculated nondegenerate nonlinear absorption spectrum due to two-photon absorption, electronic Raman and o...
متن کاملOptimal all-optical switching of a microcavity resonance in the telecom range using the electronic Kerr effect.
We have switched GaAs/AlAs and AlGaAs/AlAs planar microcavities that operate in the "Original" (O) telecom band by exploiting the instantaneous electronic Kerr effect. We observe that the resonance frequency reversibly shifts within one picosecond when the nanostructure is pumped with low-energy photons. We investigate experimentally and theoretically the role of several parameters: the materia...
