Abstract

Optical switches and light modulators that combine high speed with high contrast will play an important role as the demand for higher bandwidth components continues to increase. High speed electrically-addressed modulators have been demonstrated, but the speed of these devices is limited to that of conventional electronics. As we discuss below, optically-addressed switches are not limited by this constraint.
