Optical Receiver With Helicity-Dependent Magnetization Reversal

In this paper, we propose helicity-dependent switching (HDS) of magnetization in Co/Pt for an energy efficient optical receiver. Designing a low-power optical receiver for optical-to-electrical signal conversion has proven to be very challenging. Current day optical receivers use a photodiode that produces a photocurrent in response to input optical signals, and power hungry transimpedance amplifi...
