Abstract

In recent years, a significant amount of attention has been drawn towards all-optical semiconductor switching. To that respect, exploitation of light localization, in slow light photonic crystal waveguides (PCWs) or in microcavities, is of considerable interest because it enables enhancement of optical nonlinearities. Recently, we observed experimental and theoretical enhancement of optical Kerr effect, two-photon absorption (TPA) and free-carrier index changes (FCI) in GaAs PCWs, which demonstrated the important role of group velocity [1].
