Phase change materials present a unique type of materials that drastically change their
electrical and optical properties on the introduction of an external electrical or optical …

Optical phase change materials (O-PCMs) are being explored for a variety of photonic
applications due to the extraordinarily large changes in optical properties that occur during …

In this paper, a comprehensive review of the recent advancements in the design and
development of plasmonic switches based on vanadium dioxide (VO 2) is presented …

We present two types of designs for plasmonic switches based on hybridization between
single interface surface plasmon polaritons and modes of a thin film of transition metal oxide …

Actively tunable metal-insulator-metal waveguides that employ vanadium dioxide films as
the active medium are analyzed numerically. Vanadium dioxide exhibits strong contrast …

The technique of cathodic ac dual magnetron sputtering along with the high energy ionic
bombardment is known to yield high-quality thin films in terms of their uniformity and high …

We present designs of all‐optical reversible gates, namely, Feynman, Toffoli, Peres, and
Feynman double gates, with optically controlled microresonators. To demonstrate the …

We demonstrate the characteristics of voltage-pulse-induced out-of-plane switching driven
by metal-insulator transition (MIT jump) with VO 2 thin-film devices fabricated on silicon. As …

We present a periodic slot waveguide for achieving enhanced light–matter interaction that
provides significant localized field and power density enhancements over traditional slot …

We demonstrate via the numerical simulation the modulation of the transmission of visible
and near-infrared light through a hybrid grating structure containing a gold metallic wire-grid …
