All-optical phase control in nanophotonic silicon waveguides with epsilon-near-zero nanoheaters

Abstract A wide variety of nanophotonic applications require controlling the optical phase without changing optical absorption, which in silicon (Si) photonics has been mostly pursued electrically. Here, we investigate the unique light–matter interaction exhibited by epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) material...
