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…
Dispersion of coupled mode-gap cavities
Jin Lian, Sergei Sokolov, Emre Yüce +3
The dispersion of a CROW made of photonic crystal mode-gap cavities is pronouncedly asymmetric. This asymmetry cannot be explained by the standard tight binding model. We show that…
Femtosecond-scale switching based on excited free-carriers
Y. Sivan, G. Ctistis, E. Yuce +1
We describe novel optical switching schemes operating at femtosecond time scales by employing free carrier (FC) excitation. Such unprecedented switching times are made possible by…
Local thermal resonance control of GaInP photonic crystal membrane cavities using ambient gas cooling
Sergei Sokolov, Jin Lian, Emre Yüce +4
We perform spatially dependent tuning of a GaInP photonic crystal cavity using a continuous wave violet laser. Local tuning is obtained by laser heating of the photonic crystal mem…
