论文摘要
在过去的十年中,相变材料(PCM)研究已从光学数据存储中的实际应用转变为电相变为随机访问记忆技术(PCRAM)。随着这些设备的商业化,我们期望研究方向再次转向电动设备。这篇评论的目的是介绍PCM调整的光子学中的概念。首先,我们将重点介绍现场的关键作品,然后再关注PCM调整的金属 - 丝线 - 金属(MDM)结构。我们将讨论如何设计可调的MDM光子学设备,其优势及其局限性。最后,我们将讨论相变光子学的新材料。
In the last decade phase change materials (PCM) research has switched from practical application in optical data storage toward electrical phase change random access memory technologies (PCRAM). As these devices are commercialised, we expect the research direction to switch once again toward electrical-photonic devices. The objective of this review is to introduce the concepts in PCM-tuned photonics. We will start by highlighting the key works in the field, before concentrating on PCM-tuned Metal-Dielectric-Metal (MDM) structures. We will discuss how to design tuneable-MDM photonics devices, their advantages, and their limitations. Finally we will discuss new materials for phase change photonics.
