摘要：

Liquefying gallium shows a huge reversible optical nonlinearity which is compatible with waveguide technology and promises to be a breakthrough in broadband, light-by-light modulation at milliwatt operating power levels and frequency band spanning up to several hundred kilohertz. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(98)02239-6].
