我们通过动态控制波导模，在实验上演示了光子沿光子晶体波导传播时的动态波长转换。这允许宽带、高效的波长转换形式，而不需要到目前为止被认为是必要的限制性谐振系统。即时波长转换可以直接与其他光子纳米器件集成，以提供动态功能。这项技术预计将对各种应用产生重大影响，包括先进的光子电路、停止(或减慢)光和量子信息处理。
We demonstrate experimentally on-the-fly wavelength conversion of photons as they propagate along a photonic crystal waveguide by dynamically controlling the waveguide mode. This allows for a broad-band, highly efficient form of wavelength conversion without the restrictive resonator systems considered necessary until now. On-the-fly wavelength conversion can be directly integrated with other photonic nano-devices to provide dynamic functionality. This technique is anticipated to have a significant impact on various applications including advanced photonic circuits, stopping (or slowing) light and quantum information processing.
