“…Although integrated photonics has gained great traction over the last decade, primarily for their potential to overcome fundamental limitations of today's electronic circuitry (1,2), the conversion of electrical and optical signals seamlessly on a chip has remained elusive. The development of compact devices for efficient electro-optic conversion holds great importance as sharing the computing load between the electrical and optical domains shows increasing promise for applications including integrated optical switches, reconfigurable photonic circuits, photonic artificial neural networks, and more (3)(4)(5).…”

Modern-day computers use electrical signaling for processing and storing data which is bandwidth limited and power-hungry. These limitations are bypassed in the field of communications, where optical signaling is the norm. To exploit optical signaling in computing, however, new on-chip devices that work seamlessly in both electrical and optical domains are needed. Phase change devices can in principle provide such functionality, but doing so in a single device has proved elusive due to conflicting requirements of size-limited electrical switching and diffraction-limited photonic devices. Here, we combine plasmonics, photonics and electronics to deliver a novel integrated phase-change memory and computing cell that can be electrically or optically switched between binary or multilevel states, and read-out in either mode, thus merging computing and communications technologies.

“…This requires much higher bandwidth density for inter-chip communication than ever before (expected to surpass 40 Gbps per interconnect by 2020 [1]). Traditional electrical interconnects are not up to the challenge largely due to limited bandwidth, electrical cross-talk, and low input/output pin density.…”

Owing to enormous growth in both data storage and the demand for high-performance computing, there has been a major effort to integrate telecom networks onchip. Silicon photonics is an ideal candidate, thanks to the maturity and economics of current CMOS processes in addition to the desirable optical properties of silicon in the near IR. The basics of optical communication require the ability to generate, modulate, and detect light, which is not currently possible with silicon alone. Growing germanium or III/V materials on silicon is technically challenging due to the mismatch between lattice constants and thermal properties. One proposed solution is to use two-dimensional materials, which have covalent bonds in-plane, but are held together by van der Waals forces out of plane. These materials have many unique electrical and optical properties and can be transferred to an arbitrary substrate without lattice matching requirements. This article reviews recent progress toward the integration of 2D materials on a silicon photonics platform for optoelectronic applications.
