Ultrafast photonic crystal lasers
We describe recent progress in photonic crystal nanocavity lasers with an emphasis on our recent results on ultrafast pulse generation. These lasers produce pulses on the picosecond scale, corresponding to only hundreds of optical cycles. We describe laser dynamics in optically pumped single cavities and in coupled cavity arrays, at low and room temperature. Such ultrafast, efficient, and compa...
متن کاملMechano-actuated ultrafast full-colour switching in layered photonic hydrogels.
Photonic crystals with tunability in the visible region are of great interest for controlling light diffraction. Mechanochromic photonic materials are periodically structured soft materials designed with a photonic stop-band that can be tuned by mechanical forces to reflect specific colours. Soft photonic materials with broad colour tunability and fast colour switching are invaluable for applic...
متن کاملUltrafast tunable optical delay line based on indirect photonic transitions.
We introduce the concept of an indirect photonic transition and demonstrate its use in a dynamic delay line to alter the group velocity of an optical pulse. Operating on an ultrafast time scale, we show continuously tunable delays of up to 20 ps, using a slow light photonic crystal waveguide only 300 μm in length. Our approach is flexible, in that individual pulses in a pulse stream can be cont...

متن کاملPhotonic spike processing: ultrafast laser neurons and an integrated photonic network
The marriage of two vibrant fields—photonics and neuromorphic processing—is fundamentally enabled by the strong analogies within the underlying physics between the dynamics of biological neurons and lasers, both of which can be understood within the framework of nonlinear dynamical systems theory. Whereas neuromorphic engineering exploits the biophysics of neuronal computation algorithms to pro...
