We systematically investigate the four-wave mixing(FWM) spectrum in a dual-cavity hybrid optomechanical system,which is made up of one optical cavity with an ensemble of two-level atoms and another with a mechanical oscillator. In this work, we propose that the hybrid dual-cavity optomechanical system can be employed as a highly sensitive mass sensor due to the fact that the FWM spectrum generated in this system has a narrow spectral width and the intensity of the FWM can be easily tuned by controlling the coupling strength(cavity–cavity, atom–cavity). More fascinatingly, the dual-cavity hybrid optomechanical system can also be used as an all-optical switch in view of the easy on/off control of FWM signals by adjusting the atom-pump detuning to be positive or negative. The proposed schemes have great potential applications in quantum information processing and highly sensitive detection. 相似文献

We analyze the dynamical behavior of all-optical switching and memory based on tunable optical bistability in a three-level Λ-type atomic system driven by a probe field circulating in an optical ring cavity, a coherent coupling field and an incoherent pump field outside cavity. Owing to the incoherent pump process, the absorption and Kerr nonlinearity near the atomic resonance change dramatically as a result of varied population distribution and atomic coherence, and then the switch-up and switch-down thresholds, as well as the width (or area) of bistable curve, can be manipulated effectively. By tuning the intensity of either coherent coupling field or incoherent pump field, we can make the system output flip between the lower and upper branches of different bistable hysteresis loops while the cavity input keeps to a constant value. Accordingly, all-optical switching and memory can be implemented via dynamical control of the bistable behavior under the assistance of incoherent pump. The proposed scheme can find potential applications in all-optical communication and computation. 相似文献

A scheme is proposed for tunable all-optical switching based on the double-dark states in a five-level atom-cavity system. In the scheme, the output signal light of the reflection and the transmission channels can be switched on or off by manipulating the control field. When the control light is coupled to the atom-cavity system, the input signal light is reflected by the cavity. Thus, there is no direct coupling between the control light and the signal light. Furthermore, the position of the double-dark states can be changed by adjusting the coherent field, and,thus, the switching in our scheme is tunable. By presenting the numerical calculations of the switching efficiency,we show that this type of the interaction-free all-optical switching can be realized with high switching efficiency. 相似文献

We propose an all-optical switch that utilizes the technique of storage and retrieval of light pulses. A single photon (probe pulse) switched by another (switching pulse) is feasible, and the on-off ratio can be as large as 10 dB. We have experimentally demonstrated that the energy of the retrieved probe pulse is reduced to about 10% because of the presence of a switching pulse with an energy per unit area of one photon per lambda(2)/(2pi). The achieved result does not depend on the coupling intensity, the atomic optical density, or the width and shape of the switching pulse. 相似文献

We propose a novel all-optical controllable switch using photonic crystal cavity. For doing this work, the dipole induced transparency phenomenon realized through interaction of light with multilevel nanocrystals is used. Multilevel nanocrystals are doped to photonic crystal rods. Using the proposed structure and applying the control field, the absorbing medium converts to transparent one and switching operation is obtained. Analytical relation for evaluation of the proposed device considering quantum optical effects is presented and studied by investigation of effects of parameters on switching characteristics. We show that high quality all-optical switching operation can be obtained. 相似文献

Combining optical control theory with ab initio quantum chemistry and electronic crystal field theory we explore the laser induced femtosecond spin dynamics. We propose a scenario for ultrafast all-optical magnetic switching that results from the combination of spin-orbit coupling with appropriately shaped short laser pulses. We find that the application of the theory to the multiplet states within the gap of NiO(001) predicts for the first time the possibility of all-optical spin switching within 100 fs. The switching can be observed using any of the multiplets as the intermediate state. 相似文献

We use the m-line spectroscopy technique to characterize the guiding modes in the waveguide, and the switching phenomenon is observed with two-wavelength nonlinear prism coupling.

We describe a novel performance optimization method for all-optical amplitude reshaping via degenerated four-wave mixing(FWM) in highly nonlinear optical fiber.The proposed optimization method is achieved by judiciously configuring the FWM operational condition and exploiting the nonlinear phase shift induced by self-and cross-phase modulations to properly influence the FWM conversion efficiency.Through the proposed scheme,fully functional and prevailing reshaping performance,including significant amplitude jitter suppression and extinction ratio improvement,is obtained within a single FWM stage.Results of the present theoretical calculation and numerical simulation verify the feasibility and advantages of the proposed scheme. 相似文献

Transient and steady-state behavior of the probe absorption in a multiple quantum dot (QD) molecule composed of five quantum dots molecules (with a center dot and four satellite dots) is explored with application in all-optical switching. We find that the absorption spectra of the light pulse can be efficiently modified via the effect of inter-dot tunnel couplings of QDs and incoherent pumping field. Results show that depending on the values of system parameters, at least one and at most four tunneling induced transparency (TIT) windows can be established in the multiple QD medium. We then investigate the dynamical behavior of the probe absorption-amplification as well as the optical switching in pulsed regime. By adjusting the incoherent pumping rate, the required switching time for changing the gain to the absorption or vice versa is then estimated approximately to be 20.7 nanosecond (ns), that is an appropriate time for such a QDM-based switch. 相似文献

The advancement of communication technology and growth of internet traffic have continuously driven the fast evolution of
networks. Compared to the traditional optoelectronic switch, all-optical switch provides high throughput, rich routing functionalities,
and excellent flexibility for rapid signal exchange in fiber optical network. Among various all-optical switches, thermal
actuated ring switch provides the advantages of high accuracy, easy actuation, and reasonable switching speed. However, when
scale up, thermal ring switch may encounter issues related to fabrication error, non-accurate wavelength response, and large
terminal numbers in the control circuit. In this research, we propose the employment of an integrated CMOS control circuit
to compensate the fabrication error and tune as well as lock the wavelength in a thermal-actuated ring-type optical switch
through a frequency modulation scheme. Additional functionalities can also be added in this circuit by tailoring externally
the roundtrip loss or coupling constants of the ring. The design concept can be easily scaled up for large array optical switch
system without much change in the terminal numbers thanks to the three-dimensional hierarchy of control circuit design, which
effectively reduces the terminal numbers into the cubic root of the total control unit numbers. The integrated circuit has
been designed, simulated, as well as fabricated, and demonstrated a decent performance with free spectral range (FSR) equal
to 1.5 nm at 1534 nm and very accurate wavelength modulation to 0.3 nm within 0.01 nm fluctuation for thermal actuated ring
type optical switch. 相似文献

Optical Switching in Silicon Nanowaveguide Ring Resonators Based on Kerr Effect and TPA Effect 下载免费PDF全文
We analyze theoretically the 1 × 2 low-power all-optical switching in silicon nanowaveguide ring resonators (RR) based on the Kerr effect and two-photon absorption (TPA), and give a comparison between both the all-optical switches. The calculation shows that the switching power of the TPA-RR switch is 3 orders smaller than that of the Kerr-RR switch. The switching time for both the switches is about 100ps. 相似文献

We propose an all-optical switching scheme based on Raman gain in a silicon nanowaveguide suitable for multichannel optical communication. Raman gain is used for amplification of a control pulse with a higher wavelength, which depletes the tuned channel signal. Separation between control and signal pulses should be equal to the Raman shift in silicon. By employing a 3 mm channel nanowaveguide, we demonstrate a channel attenuation of about 12 dB, while the suppression ratios for the first and second neighboring channels are about 1.6 dB and 1 dB, respectively. This scheme can be used as an all-optical switch in dense wavelength division multiplexing networks. Moreover, we demonstrate that the depleted channel can be retrieved by a control pulse with lower wavelength in which the pulse amplifies the channel in contrast to the prior situation. 相似文献

We present Symmetric Mach–Zehnder (SMZ) type all-optical switches: an SMZ all-optical switch, a polarization-discriminating SMZ (PD-SMZ) all-optical switch, and a delayed interference signal wavelength converter (DISC). These switches are capable of ultrafast, low control power, and low chirp switching, which is not restricted by slow relaxation of highly efficient nonlinearities. High repetition operation unrestricted by slow relaxation is also possible for these switches. This is because of a push–pull modulation scheme or sometimes called a differential phase modulation scheme. These three devices are similar, but different in some important aspects, thus a comparison is made among the three. Then semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) are discussed as a nonlinear phase shifter for these devices. Then, ultrafast all-optical signal processing using SOA based SMZs is demonstrated. Error-free demultiplexing from 168 to 10.5 Gbit/s is presented, in which a hybrid-integrated SMZ (HI-SMZ) is used as a demultiplexer. In pulse regeneration experiment, the signal pulses at 84 Gbit/s are regenerated by the PD-SMZ and the regenerated pulses are demultiplexed to 10.5 Gbit/s by the HI-SMZ to verify error-free operation. The retiming capability of this scheme is quantitatively demonstrated. Also presented is error-free all-optical wavelength conversion at 168 Gbit/s using the DISC. These results represent the fastest error-free operations reported to date in each category. 相似文献

We propose and demonstrate theoretically omnidirectional and controllable switching behavior by combining the advantages of the controllable properties of a photonic quantum well system and the omnidirectional resonant defect modes of single-negative material heterostructures. Our numerical results reveal that the frequency positions of strong localized states are different for odd numbers and even numbers of wells, which can be used to design an all-optical switch by adding or reducing one well. Furthermore, the frequency position can be adjusted by modifying the width of the wells. Compared to conventional all-optical switches, the frequency position of the proposed switch is not only adjustable, but it is also insensitive to the incidence angle of light. The proposed method thus provides a simple way of designing an omnidirectional and controllable all-optical switch. 相似文献

A scheme of five-level double-ladder-type atomic system is proposed with the aim of implementing dual-channel all-optical switching. Two transitions in the five-level atomic medium independently interact with the two orthogonally (circularly) polarized components from a weak linearly-polarized probe beam, while two other atomic transitions are coherently driven by a control beam and a switching signal beam. We demonstrate that the switching on/off of two orthogonally polarized beams at different frequencies can be achieved by adjusting the magnitude of the external magnetic field, which expands the frequency range of an optical signal switching operation and may improve its practicability. 相似文献
