Abstract
Most optical elements – be it refractive lenses, optical coatings, or glass fibers – have their attributes fully defined once they are fabricated. Moving or swapping bulky parts often becomes the only resort to enable dynamic tuning of an optical system to adapt to changing needs, which however escalates the system size, weight, complexity, and cost. The emergence of nanophotonics offers an unprecedented opportunity to realize tunable photonic systems. Through locally applying electrical, thermal, optical, or magnetic stimuli to change material properties, the optical functions of a nanophotonic device can be efficiently modulated with high speed, minimal power consumption, enhanced ruggedness, all awhile offering an ultracompact footprint. This unique capability foresees the widespread adoption of tunable nanophotonics in analog computing [[1]], high-speed communications [[2]], optical spectroscopy [[3]], computational imaging [[4]], beam steering [[5]], display technologies [[6]], optical zoom [[7]], nonreciprocal photonics [[8]], and numerous other applications of the looming Industry-4.0 era.
