Resonant cavities with phase-changing materials
Abstract:
Phase changing materials are commonly used for optical switching, limiting, and sensing. In many important cases, the change in the transmission characteristics of the optical material is caused by light-induced heating. We demonstrate that the incorporation of such optical materials in judiciously designed photonic structures can dramatically alter the light-induced phase change, as well as the transmission characteristics of the entire photonic structure. Possible practical implications are discussed.
