Abstract (AI)
Phase-change materials integrated into nanophotonic circuits provide a flexible way to realize tunable optical components. Relying on the enormous refractive-index contrast between the amorphous and crystalline states, such materials are promising candidates for on-chip photonic memories. Nonvolatile memory operation employing arrays of microring resonators is demonstrated as a route toward all-photonic chipscale information processing.
Key Findings
1
Arrays of microring resonators demonstrate nonvolatile optical memory operation on chip.
2
Phase-change materials integrated into nanophotonic circuits enable tunable optical components through their large amorphous–crystalline refractive-index contrast.
3
The demonstrated approach supports all-photonic, chip-scale information processing using integrated phase-change materials.
