We perform frequency-and time-resolved all-optical switching of a GaAs-AlAs micropillar cavity using an ultrafast pump-probe setup. The switching is achieved by two-photon excitation of free carriers. We track the cavity resonances in time with a high frequency resolution. The pillar modes exhibit simultaneous frequency shifts, albeit with markedly different maximum switching amplitudes and relaxation dynamics. These differences stem from the non-uniformity of the free carrier density in the micropillar, and are well understood by taking into account the spatial distribution of injected free carriers, their spatial diffusion and surface recombination at micropillar sidewalls.

Shape optimization of MEMS switches for miniaturization Ahmed, Imran; Dal, Hüsnü; Ünlü, Mehmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018) This thesis presents miniature optimized cantilever beam MEMS contact switches for low pull-in voltage, low switching time and relatively high contact force for stable switch operation. Beam based MEMS switches are promising replacements of CMOS based p-i-n diodes and field effect transistor (FET) diode switches due to structural and operation advantages over these solid state switches. High isolation, zero power consumption and very low manufacturing cost are promising advantages compared to solid state sw...
Harmonic Minimization in a Three-phase Asymmetrical PWM Rectifier ISLIER, AT; Ersak, Aydın; RICHARDS, G (1994-04-14) - A new pulse-width modulation (PWM) method for a three-phase bridge rectifier developed here gives minimized low order harmonics. As a PWM rectifier, it offers better input and output characteristics than phase-controlled rectifiers. It has inherited the chmcteristics of the PWM rectifier such as having high power factor at the input with low harmonic content of the input current and zero phase-shift of input voltage and current. The availability of power transistors at high power ratings enabled the imple...
Frequency tunable metamaterial designs using near field coupled SRR structures in the terahertz region Ekmekci, Evren; Strikwerda, A.c.; Fan, K.; Keiser, G.; Zhang, Xin; Sayan, Gönül; Averitt, Richard D. (2011-12-01) We present frequency tunable metamaterials at terahertz frequencies using broadsidecoupled split ring resonators. Frequency tuning, arising from changes in near field coupling, is obtained by in-plane displacement between the SRR layers. A maximum frequency shift occurs for displacement of half a unit cell resulting in a shift of 663 GHz (51% of f0). © OSA/CLEO 2011.
