All-Optical Switch Based on a Fiber-Chip-Fiber Opto-Mechanical System With Ultrahigh Extinction Ratio

We propose and experimentally demonstrate an all-optical switch based on a fiber-chip-fiber opto-mechanical system driven by thermal radiation. The two optical fibers are both designed as movable cantilever structures with a free-hanging length. With injecting pump lights into the opto-mechanical sy...
