Abstract :
We demonstrate experimentally optical bistability inside a two-bus ring resonator fabricated in silicon-on-insulator with a power of only 680 μW. We have analysed the different contributions leading to this bistable behaviour and show that the dominant nonlinear effects are free carrier based.
