Positive pulse switching in coupled, nonlinear Fabry-Perot cavities

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Conventional bistable Fabry-Perot cavities are switched off by interrupting a bias. This is dissipative and thus, in principle, is not conducive of high speed. Positive-pulse switching has been demonstrated in systems in which two different mechanisms were responsible for the up and down switching and also in devices using a transient phenomenon.
