Paper Summary by Dr Shahraam Afshar
Understanding the contribution of mode area and slow light to the effective Kerr nonlinearity of waveguides – Optics Express
We can use light to control light by squeezing it into smaller areas and reducing its speed. Based on this we can build optical switches for optical computers.
