We report a novel injection scheme that allows for “phonon lasing” in a one-dimensional
opto-mechanical photonic crystal, in a sideband unresolved regime and with cooperativity …

Optical bistability (BI) and self-pulsation (SP) in high-Q silicon microring resonators (MRRs)
induced by thermo-optical (TO) effect and other nonlinear effects are theoretically studied …

Silicon-on-insulator microrings both self-pulsate and are excitable due to the presence of
thermal and free-carrier-related nonlinearities. We show how a dimensionless mean-field …

We report on the observation of optical bistability in an integrated planar microresonator with
embedded silicon nanocrystals (Si-ncs). The phenomenon originates from the thermo …
