ULTRA-COMPACT RECONFIGURABLE METAURFACES ENABLED BY PHASE-CHANGE MATERIALS

Abstract

1) Development of the simulation and design platform for individual hybrid plasmonic-PCM unit cells based on the dipole technique.2) Development of the necessary fabrication processes for realization of the proposed unit cells including the fabrication of the ol"igomer plasmonic nanostructures, integration with PCM, and contacts for excitation of the PCM with minimal loss.3) Investigation of" the proposed GST alloys both theoretically and experimentally for achieving the lowest loss and highest index change under similar" excitation power. 4) Using the simulation platform, design and characterize single unit cells for modification of amplitude, phase"", and polarization of incident plane waves with reconfiguration done using the two-stage (i.e., amorphous and crystalline) GST.
