Non-volatile Bistable All-Optical Switch from Mechanical Buckling

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A non-volatile all-optical bistable optomechanical switch comprising two parallel buckling waveguides is proposed. The bistability from mechanical buckling requires no maintenance power, while optical coupling allows all-optical switching and reading.
