Transparent conducting oxides as dynamic materials at telecom wavelengths

Abstract

Transparent conducting oxides have received significant attention in recent years for their tunability. Here, we study the tunability in the static optical properties of TCO films and nanostructures, as well as their dynamic properties under optical pumping. Combined with their low-temperature and CMOS-compatible processing techniques, TCOs are shown to be key materials for future dynamic nanophotonic devices.
