Abstract:We demonstrate non-volatile optical functionality by embedding multi-layer HfO2/Al2O3 memristors with III-V/Si photonics. The wafer-bonded III-V/Si memristor facilitates non-volatile optical functionality for a variety of devices such as Mach-Zehnder Interferometers (MZIs), and (de-)interleaver filters. The MZI optical memristor exhibits non-volatile optical phase shifts > π (ΔngIII-V/Si = 2.70 × 10-3) with ~ 30 dB extinction ratio while consuming 0 electrical power consumption in a true “set-and-forget” op… Show more
