Designed ultrafast optical nonlinearity in a plasmonic nanorod metamaterial enhanced by nonlocality.
All-optical signal processing enables modulation and transmission speeds not achievable using electronics alone. However, its practical applications are limited by the inherently weak nonlinear effects that govern photon-photon interactions in conventional materials, particularly at high switching rates. Here, we show that the recently discovered nonlocal optical behaviour of plasmonic nanorod ...
متن کاملUltrafast all-optical switching by cross-absorption modulation in silicon wire waveguides.
We describe the use of two-photon absorption in submicron silicon wire waveguides for all-optical switching by cross-absorption modulation. Optical pulses of 3.2 ps were successfully converted from high power pump to low power continuous-wave signal with a fast recovery time. High speed operation was based on the induced optical absorption from non-degenerate two-photon absorption inside the wa...
متن کاملUltrafast control of third-order optical nonlinearities in fishnet metamaterials
Nonlinear photonic nanostructures that allow efficient all-optical switching are considered to be a prospective platform for novel building blocks in photonics. We performed time-resolved measurements of the photoinduced transient third-order nonlinear optical response of a fishnet metamaterial. The mutual influence of two non-collinear pulses exciting the magnetic resonance of the metamaterial...
متن کاملUltrafast All-Optical Reversible Peres and Feynman-Double Logic Gates with Silicon Microring Resonators
We present designs of reversible Peres logic gate and FeynmanDouble logic gate based on all-optical switching by two-photon absorption induced free-carrier injection in silicon add-drop microring resonators. The logic gates have been theoretically analyzed using time-domain coupled-mode theory and all-optical switching has been optimized for low-power (25 mW) ultrafast (25 ps) operation with hi...
متن کاملOxygen-ion implanted silicon microring resonator for high-speed all-optical switching
Ultrafast all-optical switching is demonstrated in an oxygen-ion implanted silicon-oninsulator microring resonator. The spectral response of the device is rapidly modulated via femtosecond optical excitation and subsequent recombination of charge carriers at artificially introduced ultrafast recombination centers. At an implantation dose of 1 × 1012 cm−2 the carrier lifetime is reduced to 55 ps...
