Figure 5: Milli-scale AOS architecture with Si and SiC nanoparticles.
From: Integration of photonic nanojets and semiconductor nanoparticles for enhanced all-optical switching
Experimental (positive) differential transmission for the probe beam, ΔT/T, is shown normalized versus time, for pump photoinjection of (a) Si nanoparticles and (b) SiC nanoparticles. The nanoparticles coat spheres with a diameter of d=2.0 mm and refractive index of n=1.98±0.02. The figures include insets with Mie theory simulations and SEM images of nanoparticles on a 200-nm scale.
