    摘要: A bistable photonic crystal configuration comprises a waveguide sided coupled to a single-mode cavity. This configuration can generate extremely high contrast between the bistable states in its transmission with low input power. All-optical switching action is also achieved in a nonlinear photonic crystal cross-waveguide geometry, in which the transmission of a signal can be reversibly switched on and off by a control input, or irreversibly switched, depending on the input power level.
