Abstract (AI)
Optical phase change materials (O-PCMs) are being explored for a variety of photonic applications due to the extraordinarily large changes in optical properties that occur during electronic and/or structural phase transitions. Here, recent work integrating O-PCMs in integrated silicon photonic devices is presented. Conceptually proposed and experimentally realized thermo-optic, electro-optic, and all-optical Si/O-PCM devices are described and perspectives on the potential for Si/O-PCM electro-optic and all-optical modulators are outlined.
Key Findings
1
Optical phase change materials enable exceptionally large optical-property changes through electronic and structural phase transitions.
2
Recent research has integrated optical phase change materials with silicon photonic devices for diverse photonic applications.
3
Silicon/O-PCM electro-optic and all-optical modulators are identified as promising directions for future integrated photonics.
4
Thermo-optic, electro-optic, and all-optical silicon/O-PCM devices have been both conceptually proposed and experimentally realized.
