| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As a fourth element following a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor, a "memristor" whose resistance changes in accordance with the amount of passed charges attracts attention. In this research, we realized "optical memristor whose optical transmittance changes according to the amount of light passing through".
An optical waveguide including a photochromic material "diarylethene" (discovered by Prof. Irie, Rikkyo University in 1988) in clad or core was fabricated. Its transmittance is reduced by UV irradiation and is recovered by irradiation of green light. However, the recovery time constant by green light is as long as 0.2 s to several minutes and does not reach the target millisecond. Therefore, simulation of the experimental result was carried out by setting up a physical model. As a result it was predicted that when the diarylethene concentration is lowered, the recovery time becomes a millisecond.
