Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the existing slow light devices are mostly limited to passive devices that cannot be modulated, that is, once the device is fabricated, its performance is fixed and there is no modulation space, which brings huge restrictions to the practical application of slow light
In a small number of partially tunable slow-light devices, restricted by factors such as material selection and device preparation methods, the modulation band of the device is limited and the modulation method is single, which is not conducive to the integration and application of slow-light devices.
The above problems severely limit the further promotion of slow light devices, so new methods are needed to obtain wide-spectrum range, multi-method tunable slow light devices

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical devices, in particular to an adjustable slow light device based on a phase change material, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Slow light effect is an abnormal physical phenomenon existing in high-dispersion devices and media. One of the methods to realize slow light is to design a periodic structure on the dielectric material, and use the resonance of the structure to cause a huge change in the speed of the resonance center group to generate slow light. The most commonly used method is electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) technology, and the selected structure is the EIT-like structure. At present, the slow-light effect has unique research and practical value in scientific fields such as quantum optics and nonlinear optics, as well as application fields such as optical information storage and optical switches. [0003] In recent years, modulated slow-light ...
