Abstract

This paper discusses fundamental limits in photonic switching devices taking into account of the material’s optical nonlinearity as well as optical field enhancement within the device structures. Quantum dot materials in corporation with optical cavity structures are expected to be a powerful combination for ultrafast, energy-efficient photonic switches. Recent demonstration of fJ/cm2 class switching in QD-based vertical cavity structure is described.
