Optical Tunability of Resonant Fabry-Perot Saturable Absorbers with Application to Optical Switching

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate optical switching in a Fabry-Perot saturable absorber (FPSA) using pump-probe technique at 5 MHz rate. The mechanism is based on controlling the reflectivity of the FPSA via the pump power while operating the device at its resonant.
