• Movie S1
  The low-level all-optical switch in action for a higher switching power. Temporal evolution of the emitted spots when the switching beam (P_s = 2.5 nW) is switched on-and-off at a rate of 1.6 s^-1 (chosen for convenience).
• Movie S2
  The low-level all-optical switch in action for a lower switching power. Temporal evolution of the emitted spots when the switching beam (P_s = 230 pW) is switched on-and-off at a rate of 2.1 s^-1 (chosen for convenience).
