چکیده

Direct time-domain measurement of tunable optical delay in a silicon resonating structure is presented. The structure is composed by a double-ring resonator, whose spectrum has a narrow transparency peak with low group velocity analogous to that in electromagnetically induced transparency. Effective group indices from 90 to 290 are obtained by tuning the resonator thermally. The measurements agree well with the theoretical analysis.

Tunable optical analog to electromagnetically induced transparency in graphene-ring resonators system

The analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency in optical ways has shown great potential in optical delay and quantum-information technology due to its flexible design and easy implementation. The chief drawback for these devices is the bad tunability. Here we demonstrate a tunable optical transparency system formed by graphene-silicon microrings which could control the transparent wi...

Stopping light in a waveguide with an all-optical analog of electromagnetically induced transparency.

We introduce a new all-optical mechanism that can compress the bandwidth of light pulses to absolute zero, and bring them to a complete stop. The mechanism can be realized in a system consisting of a waveguide side coupled to tunable resonators, which generates a photonic band structure that represents a classical analogue of the electromagnetically induced transparency. The same system can als...

Optical Analog to Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in Cascaded Ring-Resonator Systems

The analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency in optical methods has shown great potential in slow light and sensing applications. Here, we experimentally demonstrated a coupled resonator induced transparency system with three cascaded ring coupled resonators in a silicon chip. The structure was modeled by using the transfer matrix method. Influences of various parameters including c...

Enhancing the waveguide-resonator optical force with an all-optical on-chip analog of electromagnetically induced transparency

We demonstrate a fundamental limitation in the force enhancement in simple waveguide-resonator geometry. We also show that the all-optical analog to electromagnetically induced transparency, as observed in a waveguideresonator geometry, can be used to drastically enhance waveguide-resonator optical force, significantly beyond what one can achieve in principle in conventional waveguide-resonator...
