Title: Maximally confined high-speed second-order silicon microdisk switches.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:943945

We demonstrate the first high-speed second-order silicon microdisk bandpass switch. The switch, constructed of a pair of 3 {micro}m radii active microdisks possesses {approx}40GHz flat-top passbands, a 4.2THz free-spectral-range, and a 2.4ns switching time.
