A silicon-nanowire memory driven by optical gradient force induced bistability. Applied Physics Letters, 107(26), 261111-. | Series/Report no.: | Applied Physics Letters | Abstract: | In this paper, a bistable optical-driven silicon-nanowire memory is demonstrated, which employs ring resonator to generate optical gradient force over a doubly clamped silicon-nanowire. Two stable deformation positions of a doubly clamped silicon-nanowire represent two memory states (“0” and “1”) and can be set/reset by modulating the light intensity (<3 mW) based on the optical force induced bistability. The time response of the optical-driven memory is less than 250 ns. It has applications in the fields of all optical communication, quantum computing, and optomechanical circuits. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/82448 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/40015 |
