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 27):
The memory cell of  claim 21 , wherein the electrical conductor comprises a resistor in thermal contact with the modulating element, so that the modulating element is switchable by passing the electrical signal through the resistor, and heating the modulating element primarily by conduction.
