In this work we combine the already mature silicon and silicon nitride platforms with novel reconfigurable

In this work we combine the already mature silicon and silicon nitride platforms with novel reconfigurable
materials such as 2D materials, liquid crystals and phase change materials. An actively reconfigurable 1D
photonic crystal multi-channel filter based on Si-on-insulator and liquid crystal platforms is demonstrated with
extraordinary large quality factor, Q ∼ 104
. A complete study and design of an optical routing and multilevel
volatile photonic memory based on graphene capacitor concept for future high performance computing using
Silicon rich nitride is shown with a bandwidth of 64 GHz and energy power consumption per bit as low as
0.22 pJ. Finally, an optical switch based on germanium-antimony-tellurium phase change material (GST) is
experimentally demonstrated for O-band operation with the extinction ratio as high as 10 dB between the
amorphous and the crystalline states
