Abstract
A memristor element is used to create a spectrally programmable optical device. An electromagnetic field is applied across the memristor element in order to alter its spectral properties. In turn, the spectral properties of the electromagnetic radiation optically interacting with the memristor element are also altered. This alteration in spectral properties allows the memristor to be 'programmed' to achieve a variety of transmission/reflection/absorption functions.
