Inverse-designed single-mode and multi-mode nanophotonic waveguide switches based on hybrid silicon-Ge2Sb2Te5 platform

In this paper, we numerically theorize a series of single-mode, dual-mode and three-mode nanophotonic waveguide switches by first combining inverse design algorithm with hybrid silicon-Ge2Sb2Te5 platform. More importantly, these devices realize switching functionality directly in waveguides without...
