A photonic switch based on a gigantic, reversible optical nonlinearity of liquefying gallium

Abstract

Liquefying gallium shows a huge reversible optical nonlinearity which is compatible with waveguide technology and promises to be a breakthrough in broadband, light-by-light modulation at milliwatt operating power levels and frequency band spanning up to several hundred kilohertz.
