Photonic non-volatile memories using phase change materials

We propose an all-photonic, non-volatile memory, and processing element based on phase-change thin-films deposited onto nanophotonic waveguides. Using photonic microring resonators partially covered with Ge 2Sb 2Te 5 (GST) multi-level memory operation in integrated photonic circuits can be achieved....
