Coupled-Mode Theory Analysis of Optical Bistability Involving Fano Resonances in High-Q/Vm Silicon Photonic Crystal Nanocavities

Abstract

We study optical bistability associated with Fano resonances in high-Q/V[subscript m] silicon photonic crystal nanocavities through the nonlinear coupled-mode theory framework. The chi [superscript (3)] effects, free-carrier dynamics, thermal effects, and linear losses are included and investigated numerically. © 2007 Optical Society of America.
