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 2):
An optical system, comprising:\n the memory cell of  claim 1 , a light source coupled to the waveguide for providing the switching signal; and a controller operable to modify the transmission, reflection or absorption characteristic of the waveguide by operating the light source to produce the switching signal.
