Abstract

By exploiting the high contrast in the optical properties of the phase change material Ge₂Sb₂Te₅ between its amorphous and its crystalline stable phases (ncryst-n_amor = 2.5 and k_cryst-k_amor = 1 at 1.55 µm) [1] a thin film (80 nm) of this material placed on top of an Au waveguide can be used to modify the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) along it due to an increase in both its losses and reflection in the Ge₂Sb₂Te₅ layer.
