Abstract

The optical properties of vanadium dioxide (VO2) single crystals with a hollow rectangular inner channel are numerically simulated. In such microstructures, electromagnetic waves are shown to propagate in the form of waveguide modes, and the semiconductor-metal phase transition in VO2 results in substantial modulation of the mode propagation constant. The propagation constants are calculated for TE, TM, and EH modes in the spectral range 0.8–1.3 μm.
