Control of the nonlinear response time of AlGaAs photonic crystal waveguides by sample design

We demonstrate the picosecond switching in 1D AlGaAs photonic crystal waveguides. We show the decay times vary with the structure parameters demonstrating excellent potential for ultrafast nonlinear switches with a controllable recovery time.
