| contents | Implementing on-chip non-volatile optical memories has long been an actively pursued goal, promising significant enhancements in the capability and energy efficiency of photonic integrated circuits. Here, a novel optical memory has been demonstrated exclusively using the semiconductor primary material, silicon. By manipulating the optoelectronic effect of this device, we introduce a hysteresis effect at the silicon-silicon oxide interface, which in turn demonstrates multi-level, non-volatile optical data storage with robust retention and endurance. This new silicon optical memory provides a distinctively simple and accessible route to realize optical data storage in standard silicon foundry processes. |
