A light-controlled light modulator
Abstract
A fast resonantly enhanced light-controlled light modulator is demonstrated. Optical switching action is obtained with driving laser pulses with intensities as low as 2 kW/cm2. The switching mechanism is the optical nonlinearity due to adiabatic following for the single photon resonance.
