Multiple light scattering and optomechanical forces [PDF]
When off-resonant light travels through a transparent medium, light scattering is the primary optical process to occur. Multiple-particle events are relatively rare in optically dilute systems: scattering generally takes place at individual atomic or ...

Silicon-on-insulator photonic crystal miniature devices with slow light enhanced third-order nonlinearities [PDF]
The effects of the slow-down factor on third-order nonlinear effects in silicon-on-insulator photonic crystal channel waveguides were investigated. In the slow light regime, with a group index equal to 99, these nonlinear effects are enhanced but the ...

All-optical switching based on controlled energy transfer between nanoparticles in film arrays [PDF]
The potentiality to exert optical control, over the migration of electronic excitation energy between particles with suitably disposed electronic levels, affords a basis for all-optical switching. Implemented in a configuration with nanoparticles arrayed

Impact of GST thickness on GST-loaded silicon waveguides for optimal optical switching
Phase-change integrated photonics has emerged as a new platform for developing photonic integrated circuits by integrating phase-change materials like GeSbTe (GST) onto the silicon photonics platform. The thickness of the GST patch that is usually placed
