Pulse-driven switching in one-dimensional nonlinear photonic band gap materials: a numerical study
We numerically examine the time-dependent properties of nonlinear bistable multilayer structures for constant wave illumination. We find that our system exhibits both steady-state and self-pulsing solutions. In the steady-state regime, we examine the dynamics of driving the system between different transmission states by injecting pulses, and we find optimal pulse …
