Reconfigurable inverse-designed phase-change photonics by Changming Wu, Ziyu Jiao, Haoqin Deng, Yi-Siou Huang, Heshan Yu, Ichiro Takeuchi, Carlos A. Ríos Ocampo, Mo Li

“…Chalcogenide phase-change materials (PCMs) offer a promising approach to programmable photonics thanks to their nonvolatile, reversible phase transitions and high refractive index contrast. However, conventional designs are limited by global phase control over entire PCM thin films between fully amorphous and fully crystalline states, which restricts device functionality and confines design flexibility and programmability. …”
