Optimal all-optical switching of a microcavity resonance in the telecom range using the electronic Kerr effect

Emre Yüce, Georgios Ctistis, Julien Claudon +2

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 t…
