A novel photonic crystal (PC) all-optical switch based on the shift of defect mode is demonstrated. Two photonic crystal waveguides are connected by a photonic crystal cavity. The point defect of the photonic crystal cavity is filled with phenylacetylene liquid cyrstals intermingled with azobenzene. The output of the optical switch is controlled by adjusting the rotation angle of the liquid crystals' orientation vector. And the optical switch is numerically investigated by using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and plane wave expansion method. Numerical simulation shows that the optical switch based on the PC cavity can be changed by adjusting the applied linearly polarized light. Results show that the switch has low threshold power density, great extinction ratio, and small size.
