Abstract
The interest in the development of silicon photonic integrated devices is rapidly expanding from the telecom/datacom sector to new emerging application domains such as artificial intelligence or quantum photonics. Silicon benefits from CMOS-compatible fabrication processes and a high index contrast. However, the implementation of new functionalities or the achievement of a superior performance necessarily requires the integration of new materials in current silicon photonics platforms. In this context, phase change materials have been established as promising material technologies for optical switching. In this work, the benefits and challenges for enabling optical switching with VO2/Si and GST/Si devices will be analyzed and discussed.
