Operation principle of the proposed phase change all-optical switch

The phase change materials thin film is sandwiched by ZnS/SiO2 and SiO2. Laser pulses control the phase transition between amorphous and crystalline states, which show dramatic refractive index difference. The resonance wavelength can be finely tuned by changing dimeter D and period P.
