Optical-force-induced bistability in nanomachined ring resonator systems

This paper reports optical-force-induced bistability in a nanomachined ring resonator system. It consists of two ring resonators and a bus waveguide, whereby each ring resonator has a free-hanging arc that is perpendicularly deformable by an optical force and changes the effective refractive index o...
