Dynamical ultrafast all-optical switching of planar GaAs/AlAs photonic microcavities
Philip J. Harding, Tijmen G. Euser, Yoanna-Reine Nowicki-Bringuier +2
The authors study the ultrafast switching-on and -off of planar GaAs/AlAs microcavities. Up to 0.8% refractive index changes are achieved by optically exciting free carriers at 172…
Ultrafast optical switching of three-dimensional Si inverse opal photonic band gap crystals
Tijmen G. Euser, Hong Wei, Jeroen Kalkman +4
We present ultrafast optical switching experiments on 3D photonic band gap crystals. Switching the Si inverse opal is achieved by optically exciting free carriers by a two-photon p…
Relaxation oscillations in long-pulsed random lasers
Karen L. van der Molen, Allard P. Mosk, Ad Lagendijk
We have measured the evolution of the light intensity of a random laser during a nanosecond pump pulse. Relaxation oscillations in a titania random laser were observed in the time…
Spatial homogeneity of optically switched semiconductor photonic crystals and of bulk semiconductors
Tijmen G. Euser, Willem L. Vos
This paper discusses free carrier generation by pulsed laser fields as a mechanism to switch the optical properties of semiconductor photonic crystals and bulk semiconductors on an…
Optical extinction due to intrinsic structural variations of photonic crystals
A. Femius Koenderink, Ad Lagendijk, Willem L. Vos
Unavoidable variations in size and position of the building blocks of photonic crystals cause light scattering and extinction of coherent beams. We present a new model for both 2 a…
