Abstract

We show that coherent control can enhance the peak energy coupled into a photonic crystal (PC) resonator system. We then demonstrate two applications of this coherent control technique in a bistable PC device.

Enhancing optical switching with coherent control

Sunil Sandhu, Michelle L. Povinelli, Shanhui Fan

We show that coherent control can enhance the peak pulse energy coupled into a photonic crystal (PC) resonator system. We then demonstrate two applications of this coherent control technique in a bistable PC device, namely, the reduction in input power required to switch between its bistable states and the use of phase switching to switch between its bistable states.

All-optical switching is achieved at an extremely low energy by using silicon photonic crystal nanocavities with a large Q/V. Optical bistability is demonstrated using these devices, which present the possibility of fabricating all-optical photonic integrated logic gates on a chip.

Bistable four-wave mixing response in a semiconductor quantum dot coupled to a photonic crystal nanocavity

Jian-Bo Li, Si Xiao, Shan Li Liang +4 more

We perform a theoretical study of the bistable four-wave mixing (FWM) response in a coupled system comprised of a semiconductor quantum dot (SQD) and a photonic crystal (PC) nanocavity in which the SQD is embedded. It is shown that the shape of the FWM spectrum can switch among single-peaked, double-peaked, triple-peaked, and four-peaked arising from the vacuum Rabi splitting and the exciton-nanocavity coupling. Especially, we map out bistability phase diagrams within a parameter subspace of the system, and find that it is easy to turn on or off the bistable FWM response by only adjusting the excitation frequency or the pumping intensity. Our results offer a feasible means for measuring the SQD-PC nanocavity coupling strength and open a new avenue to design optical switches and memories.
