摘要
The large number of nonlinear optical effects observed in silicon is referenced. Special emphasis is given to laser-induced absorption and refraction due to free-carrier generation and optical heating produced by Nd:YAG-laser at 1.06 μm. Nonlinear silicon etalons exhibit high-order optical bistability. Switching powers down to 1 mw are obtained with the injection of an additional photocurrent. Two-wave mixing is discussed as an alternative switching scheme.
