Active metal strip hybrid plasmonic waveguide with low critical material gain.
An active metal strip hybrid plasmonic waveguide (MSHPW) using gain materials as loss compensation is proposed with an extremely simple fabrication procedure. Gain materials are introduced either in the low-index layer or in the high-index layer of MSHPW. The effects of waveguide dimensions and material gain coefficients on loss compensation are analyzed at the communication wavelength. For one...
متن کاملLow loss coupler to interface silicon waveguide and hybrid plasmonic waveguide
A metallic coupler is proposed to interface a silicon on insulator (SOI) waveguide with a narrow hybrid plasmonic waveguide (200× 200 nm). The device operation is investigated and optimized to attain the best tradeoff between the mode confinement and the propagation loss. Calculations reveal that a high confinement and low loss of the energy is achieved from a silicon slab waveguide into the di...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Gain-Assisted Terahertz Hybrid Plasmonic Waveguide
A numerical transfer matrix method (TMM) is applied to investigate hybrid surface plasmon polaritons (HySPPs) waveguide structure, which consists of a high permittivity dielectric fiber separated from a metal surface with a low permittivity dielectric gap. The results obtained from the TMM agree well with those from the finite element method but with a faster calculation speed. As a demonstrati...

The unique optical and electronic properties of graphene make possible the fabrication of novel optoelectronic devices. One of the most exciting graphene characteristics is the tunability by gating which allows one to realize active optical devices. While several types of graphene-based photonic modulators have already been demonstrated, the potential of combining the versatility of graphene wi...
متن کاملHybrid plasmonic waveguide for low-loss lightwave guiding.
A hybrid plasmonic waveguide structure is proposed and fabricated for low-loss lightwave guiding along a metal stripe core. By embedding Au stripe in dual slab waveguides with high refractive-index contrast, the field of the guided mode is confined more in the two dielectric core layers. Thus, the propagation loss is significantly reduced. The guided mode is like a combination of a fundamental ...
