Abstract :
This paper reports a novel all-optical light tracker by taking advantage of the optomechanical modulation. The optical force generated by a light can be used to control another light without relying on the traditional nonlinear material. Particularly, the all-optical modulation can transfer the information in a signal light into another tracking light without resorting to electro-optical converting. The novel all-optical modulation will have great potential use in on-chip signal processing.
