摘要： Photonic components with adjustable parameters, such as variable-focal-length lenses or spectral filters, which can change functionality upon optical stimulation, could offer numerous useful applications. Tuning of such components is conventionally achieved by either micro- or nanomechanical actuation of their constituent parts, by stretching or by heating. Here, we report a novel approach for making reconfigurable optical components that are created with light in a non-volatile and reversible fashion. Such components are written, erased and rewritten as two-dimensional binary or greyscale patterns into a nanoscale film of phase-change material by inducing a refractive-index-changing phase transition with tailored trains of femtosecond pulses. We combine germanium–antimony–tellurium-based films with a diffraction-limited resolution optical writing process to demonstrate a variety of devices: visible-range reconfigurable bichromatic and multi-focus Fresnel zone plates, a super-oscillatory lens with subwavelength focus, a greyscale hologram, and a dielectric metamaterial with on-demand reflection and transmission resonances. A metasurface composed of pixels of optically switchable phase change material yields a photonic platform that can be configured on demand to perform a variety of optical tasks. 其他題名： Nature Photon 出版者： London: Springer Science and Business Media LLC 出版日期： 2016-01-01 出處： Nature Photonics, 2016-01, Vol.10 (1), p.60-65 資源來源： SpringerLink Journals 版權： Springer Nature Limited 2015 版權： Copyright Nature Publishing Group Jan 2016 識別號： ISSN: 1749-4885 識別號： EISSN: 1749-4893 識別號： DOI: 10.1038/nphoton.2015.247
