Abstract
A crossed resonator Fabry–Perot device is analyzed for a collection of
nonlinear-optical materials, including bulk semiconductors, the intraband
transition in a multiple quantum well, organic polymers, and semiconductor-doped
glasses, to determine its suitability for photonic switching and optical
computing. We find that as an optical switch the crossed resonator offers a
considerably steeper threshold and somewhat flatter wings than a single
Fabry–Perot resonator and that to achieve optical gain the absorption
per pass must be lower than 0.05.
