Neuromimetic dynamics in a micropillar laser with saturable absorber

2015

We study the neuromimetic properties of a micropillar laser with saturable absorber. The investigated properties are: excitability, refractory periods and temporal summation. The absolute refractory period is the amount of time after a first excitable …

Dynamic optical hysteresis in the quantum regime

2016 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We experimentally explore the dynamic optical hysteresis of a semiconductor microcavity as a function of the sweep time. The hysteresis area exhibits a double power law decay due to the shot noise of the driving …
