论文摘要
非线性和双态光学系统是下一代光网络和光子神经系统的关键启示技术，在光学逻辑和信息处理中具有许多潜在应用。在这里，我们提出了一种新型的基于含氧氧化物的新型无谐振的全光导向器械作为非线性epsilon-near-Zero材料，可提供具有成本效益且高性能的二元性光子平台。所提出的设备的显着特征是与硅光子学的兼容性，从而实现了具有中等开关功率的子秒操作速度。该设备可以充当Memristor或Thyristor的光学类似物，并且可以成为不需要OEO转换的光子神经网络的启示元素。
Non-linear and bistable optical systems are a key enabling technology for the next generation optical networks and photonic neural systems with many potential applications in optical logic and information processing. Here, we propose a novel bistable resonator-free all-optical waveguide device based on indium tin oxide as nonlinear epsilon-near-zero material providing a cost-efficient and high-performance binarity photonic platform. The salient features of the proposed device are compatibility with silicon photonics, enabling sub-picosecond operation speeds with moderate switching power. The device can act as an optical analogue of memristor or thyristor and can become an enabling element of photonic neural networks not requiring OEO conversions.
