    "abstract": "We observe experimentally optical bistability enhanced through Fano\ninterferences in high-Q localized silicon photonic crystal resonances (Q ~\n30,000 and modal volume ~ 0.98 cubic wavelengths). This phenomenon is analyzed\nthrough nonlinear coupled-mode formalism, including the interplay of chi(3)\neffects such as two-photon absorption and related free-carrier dynamics, and\noptical Kerr as well as thermal effects and linear losses. Our experimental and\ntheoretical results demonstrate for the first time Fano-resonance based\nbistable states with switching thresholds of 185 micro-Watt and 4.5 fJ\ninternally stored cavity energy (~ 540 fJ consumed energy) in silicon for\nscalable optical buffering and logic.",
