Docket #: S05-245

Silicon-nanocrystal-coated Microsphere Thermooptical Switches

An optical switch includes a microresonator comprising a plurality of nanoparticles. The microresonator is configured to receive signal light having a signal wavelength and to receive a pump pulse having a pump wavelength. At least a portion of the microresonator is responsive to the pump pulse by undergoing a refractive index change at the signal wavelength.

This technology is available for licensing through Stanford's exclusive licensee.
