Miniature Silicon Nanobeam Resonator Tuned by GST Phase Change Material
We report a silicon optical nanobeam resonator with central hole infiltrated with a thin layer of Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) material. The resonances can be tuned when the GST changes its phases between the amorphous and crystalline states

Non-volatile Optical Switch Based on a GST-Loaded Directional Coupler
We present a non-volatile optical switch based on a directional coupler comprising a silicon-Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) hybrid waveguide. The non-volatility of GST makes it attractive for reducing static power consumption in optical switching. Experimental results show that the optical switch has an extinction ratio of >20 dB in the bar state and >25 dB in the cross state around 1578 nm wavelength. The insertion loss is 2 dB and 7 dB for the bar and cross states, respectively

All-optical non-volatile tuning of an AMZI-coupled ring resonator with GST phase-change material
We present a Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST)-integrated ring resonator with the tuning enabled by an all-optical phase change of GST using a sequence of optical pulses. The tuning is non-volatile and repeatable, with no static power consumption due to the “self-holding” feature of the GST phase-change material. The 2 μm long GST can be partially crystallized by controlling the number of pulses, increasing the tuning freedom. The coupling between the ring resonator and the bus waveguide is based on an asymmetric Mach–Zehnder interferometer. The coupling strength is wavelength-dependent, so that an optimal wavelength can be selected for the probe light to get more than 20 dB transmission contrast between the amorphous and crystalline GST states
Transfer-matrix renormalization group study of the spin ladders with cyclic four-spin interactions
The temperature dependence of the specific heat and spin susceptibility of
the spin ladders with cyclic four-spin interactions in the rung-singlet phase
is explored by making use of the transfer-matrix renormalization group method.
The values of spin gap are extracted from the specific heat and susceptibility,
respectively. It is found that for different relative strength between
interchain and intrachain interactions, the spin gap is approximately linear
with the cyclic four-spin interaction in the region far away from the critical
point. Furthermore, we show that the dispersion for the one-triplet magnon
branch can be obtained by numerically fitting on the partition function.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures, 1 tabl
Bosonic Super Liouville System: Lax Pair and Solution
We study the bosonic super Liouville system which is a statistical
transmutation of super Liouville system. Lax pair for the bosonic super
Liouville system is constructed using prolongation method, ensuring the Lax
integrability, and the solution to the equations of motion is also considered
via Leznov-Saveliev analysis.Comment: LaTeX, no figures, 11 page
