We propose an electrically driven nanometer scale plasmonic optical latch integrated with Ge2Sb2Te5 chalcogenide glasses. For an effective switching length of 167 nm, the extinction ratio between the ON and OFF states of the proposed switch is as large as 10 dB, with net operation energy as low as 30.4 pJ per cycle.

Abstract

We propose an electrically driven nanometer scale plasmonic optical latch integrated with Ge2Sb2Te5 chalcogenide glasses. For an effective switching length of 167 nm, the extinction ratio between the ON and OFF states of the proposed switch is as large as 10 dB, with net operation energy as low as 30.4 pJ per cycle.
