Abstract
Disclosed is an ultrafast optical switching device based on black phosphorus, including a first channel to generate a first laser which is a continuous wave of a first wavelength, a second channel to generate a second laser which is a continuous wave of a second wavelength different from the first wavelength, a modulator to modulate the second laser generated by the second channel into a pump signal, a first and a second wavelength tunable filters to change wavelengths of the first laser and the second laser, respectively, a directional coupler to couple the first laser and the second laser, and an optical element to control the first and second lasers coupled by the directional coupler by means of nonlinearity and an evanescent field of black phosphorus. Accordingly, volume and size of an ultrafast optical switching device may be reduced, and a data processing rate may be improved.
