Engineering the temporal dynamics of all-optical switching with fast and slow materials

Abstract All-optical switches control the amplitude, phase, and polarization of light using optical control pulses. They can operate at ultrafast timescales – essential for technology-driven applications like optical computing, and fundamental studies like time-reflection. Conventional all-optical s...
