Abstract :
In this talk, we will present our recent progress in terms of photonic-crystal cavities, and discuss its impact on various optical phenomena and applications. First, we used it for delaying the light propagation. Second, we applied it for all optical switching operation. Finally, we discuss dynamic control of light in high-Q cavities.
