Fibre-integrated phase-change metasurfaces with switchable group delay dispersion
Fibre-integrated phase-change metasurfaces with switchable group delay dispersion
Demonstration of a fiber-integrated non-volatile reconfigurable metasurface providing high-contrast group delay dispersion switching functionality is reported, which may be engineered to operate at wavelengths across the near-infrared (telecoms) band. Light-induced amorphous-crystalline phase switching in a chalcogenide (germanium antimony telluride) metasurface, only a fraction of a wavelength thick, fabricated on the end-facet of a single-mode optical fiber, enables intensity and phase modulation of the guided wave at metasurface designated bands. Such devices present a range of opportunities in fiberized remotely programmable phase/intensity multiplexing and dynamic dispersion compensation for emerging telecommunications and data storage/processing applications, including in photonic neural network and neuromorphic computing architectures.

Abstract
Demonstration of a fiber-integrated non-volatile reconfigurable metasurface providing high-contrast group delay dispersion switching functionality is reported, which may be engineered to operate at wavelengths across the near-infrared (telecoms) band. Light-induced amorphous-crystalline phase switching in a chalcogenide (germanium antimony telluride) metasurface, only a fraction of a wavelength thick, fabricated on the end-facet of a single-mode optical fiber, enables intensity and phase modulation of the guided wave at metasurface designated bands. Such devices present a range of opportunities in fiberized remotely programmable phase/intensity multiplexing and dynamic dispersion compensation for emerging telecommunications and data storage/processing applications, including in photonic neural network and neuromorphic computing architectures.
