Abstract

Using the excitation by a pulsed laser beam of a guided mode in a nonlinear silicon film deposited on sapphire, fast switching and bistability have been observed. A theoretical study, taking into account both electronic and thermal refractive index variations is presented which describes the experimental results accurately.
