摘要: 提出了基于相变材料锗锑碲(GST)在1550nm波段的全介质光开关模型,研究了金属与相变材料组合的光开关模型,实现对入射波的调制,仿真并分析了光开关产生的谐振内部机理,探讨了谐振器的尺寸、材质对光开关谐振响应的影响,对比了相变材料锗锑碲(GST)的光开关效果,引入调制深度、灵敏度和品质因数对光开关性能进行评估,研究得出铝材料的灵敏度较好,在半径为170nm时可达到0.834,铜、金的调制深度最好,分别是28.22%和57.09%。同时考虑到制作成本,应根据实际需要来选择铝或铜作为全介质光开关的材料。引入相变材料大大提升了光开关的灵活性,为光开关的设计提供了新思路。Abstract: This paper proposes an all-dielectric optical switch model based on phase-change material Ge-Sb-Te (GST) in the 1550nm band.The optical switch model combining metal and phase-change material is studied to achieve the modulation of incident waves.The internal mechanism of resonance generated by the optical switch is simulated and analyzed.The effects of the size and material of the resonator on the resonant response of the optical switch are discussed.The optical switch effect of phasechange material Ge-Sb-Te (GST) is compared.The modulation depth, sensitivity and quality factor are introduced to evaluate the performance of the optical switch.The study finds that aluminum has the sensitivity, which can reach 0.834 when the radius is 170nm.Copper and gold have the best modulation depth, which are 28.22% and 57.09% respectively.At the same time, considering the production cost, aluminum or copper should be selected as the material of the all-dielectric optical switch according to the actual needs.Theintroduction of phase-change materials greatly improves the flexibility of the optical switch and provides new ideas for the design of the optical switch.
