Abstract :
An integrated micron-size all-optical Si switch capable of 94.7 GHz operation frequency is presented. The device consists of a microring resonator formed by Si/SiO2 slot-waveguides with a low-index nonlinear optical material in the slot region. Strong optical confinement in the slot permits an achievement of low switching power of 6.2 mW.
