Tunable optical forces between nanophotonic waveguides (2009)
Roels, Joris, De Vlaminck, Iwijn, Lagae, Liesbet, Maes, Björn, Van Thourhout, Dries, Baets, Roel
The confinement of light in components with nanoscale cross-sections in nanophotonic circuits significantly enhances the magnitude of the optical forces experienced by these components(1,2). Here we...
Tristable all-optical flip-flop using coupled nonlinear cavities (2008)
Huybrechts, Koen, Maes, Björn, Morthier, Geert, Baets, Roel
