Abstract:
An alloy of Ge x Sb y Se z Te m  includes atoms of Ge, Sb, Se, and Te that form a crystalline structure having a plurality of vacancies randomly distributed in the crystalline structure. The alloy can be used to construct an optical device including a first waveguide to guide a light beam and a modulation layer disposed on the first waveguide. The modulation includes the alloy of Ge x Sb y Se z Te m  which has a first refractive index n 1  in an amorphous state and a second refractive index n 2 , greater than the first refractive index by at least 1, in a crystalline state. The first waveguide and the modulation layer are configured to guide about 1% to about 50% of the light beam in the modulation layer when the alloy is in the amorphous state and guide no optical mode when the alloy is in the crystalline state.

Claim (Index 24):
The apparatus of  claim 22 , wherein the alloy has a plurality of randomly distributed vacancies in the crystalline state.
