Abstract

We describe and numerically investigate an all-optical high-order temporal integrator based on photonic crystal nanobeam cavities. The ways to increase the time-bandwidth product of the integrator by using an active cavity are discussed. In particular, an in-plane optical pumping suggested. The model of two-component nanocavity with possibility of vertical electrical pumping is also described.
