Breakthroughs in Photonics 2014: Phase Change Materials for Photonics PROJECT TITLE :Breakthroughs in Photonics 2014: Phase Change Materials for PhotonicsABSTRACT:Materials that endure an electronic part modification in a reversible manner open up new directions for research in light–matter interactions and photonic devices. The highly tunable dielectric properties, along with the spatial control of insulating and metallic domains, produce photonic-crystal-like environments to control lightweight propagation. During this brief overview, recent advances in photonics that utilize solid-state phase-change systems like vanadium dioxide ( ) and chalcogenides are mentioned. The controllable optical properties such as the refractive index and also the optical conductance between two distinct phases in these materials pave the manner for switchable photonic devices with memory. Furthermore, the intermediate states with the coexistence of two phases within the vicinity of section transition in these materials behave as a tunable metamaterial with extraordinary optical properties that is promising for applications like excellent absorbers.
