  • Abstract
    Absorptive optical nonlinearity is demonstrated in silicon nitride rings with ~244,000 intrinsic quality factors. Thermal induced optical nonlinearity leads to stochastic bistable switching in the absence of free carrier dispersion, towards CMOS-compatible photonic integrated circuits.
