Theoretical analysis for optomechanical all-optical transistor

In this paper,we propose an on-chip all optical transistor driven by optical gradient force.The transistor consists of a single micro-ring resonator,half of which is suspended from the substrate,and a bus waveguide.The free-standing arc is bent by optical gradient force generated when the control light is coupled into the ring.The output power of the probe light is tuned continuously as the transmission spectrum red-shift due to the displacement of the free-standing arc.The transistor shows three working regions known as cutoff region,amplified region and saturate region,and the characteristic curve is tunable by changing the wavelength of the control light.Potential applications of the all optical transistor include waveform regeneration and other optical computing.
