Abstract:
A photonic device ( 100 ) comprising: an optical waveguide ( 101 ), and a modulating element ( 102 ) that is evanescently coupled to the waveguide ( 101 ); wherein the modulating element ( 102 ) modifies a transmission, reflection or absorption characteristic of the waveguide ( 101 ) dependant on its state, and the state of the modulating element ( 102 ) is switchable by an optical switching signal ( 125 ) carried by the waveguide ( 101 ), or by an electrical signal that heats the modulating element ( 102 ).

Claim (Index 18):
The memory cell of  claim 17 , wherein the waveguide comprises a plurality of optical resonators or cavities, each having a different resonant frequency, the memory cell comprising a modulating element evanescently coupled to each optical resonator, wherein the transmission, reflection or absorption properties of the waveguide at each of a plurality of wavelengths is independently modified depending on the state of the respective modulating element coupled to the resonator corresponding with the respective wavelength, the state of each modulating element being switchable by an optical switching signal carried by the waveguide.
