title: Time-resolved catch and release of an optical pulse from a dynamic photonic crystal nanocavity.
abstract: We perform time-domain measurements of the interaction between light and silicon photonic crystal nanocavities under dynamic Q factor control. Time-resolved evidence of optical pulse capture and release on demand is demonstrated and compared for samples with dynamic Q ranges from ~3,000 to 26,000 and from 18,500 to 48,000. Observing the energy behaviour in response to dynamic control provides insight not available with time-integrated measurements into factors influencing device performance such as carrier absorption and pulse capture efficiency.
