A light transistor based on photons and phonons
© 2014 EPFL
A novel method to control propagation of light with light has been theoretically predicted and experimentally measured by the K-lab.
A novel method to control propagation of light with light has been theoretically predicted and experimentally measured by the K-lab. Based on the interaction of photons and phonons in a silica microcavity, this effect named "OptoMechanically Induced Transparency" (OMIT) opens new routes towards optical buffer or light storage.
