چکیده مقاله

We propose a novel all-optical controllable switch using a photonic crystal cavity. For doing this work, the dipole-induced transparency phenomenon realized through the interaction of light with multilevel nanocrystals is used. Multilevel nanocrystals are doped to photonic crystal rods. Using the proposed structure and applying the control field, the absorbing medium converts to a transparent one, and switching operation is obtained. Analytical relation for evaluation of the proposed device considering quantum optical effects is presented and studied by investigation of effects of parameters on switching characteristics. We show that high-quality all-optical switching operation can be obtained.
