  • Abstract
    We demonstrate low power all-optical switching in a gallium arsenide (GaAs) photonic molecule with resonances near the material band edge. The enhanced nonlinear effects in this spectral region result in a low estimated switching energy of a few femtojoules with 45% transmission contrast.
