Ultrahigh-contrast all-optical diodes based on tunable surface plasmon polaritons
We report a strategy for achieving ultrahigh-contrast all-optical diodes by using tunable surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in a silver grating coated with poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene], a nonlinear organic material. According to the nonlinear optical Kerr effect, the coupling of SPPs on both sides of the silver grating varied with the pump intensity of incident ligh...
متن کاملPolarization-controlled tunable directional coupling of surface plasmon polaritons.
Light can be coupled into propagating electromagnetic surface waves at a metal-dielectric interface known as surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). This process has traditionally faced challenges in the polarization sensitivity of the coupling efficiency and in controlling the directionality of the SPPs. We designed and demonstrated plasmonic couplers that overcome these limits using polarization-s...
متن کاملGraphene-based active slow surface plasmon polaritons
Finding new ways to control and slow down the group velocity of light in media remains a major challenge in the field of optics. For the design of plasmonic slow light structures, graphene represents an attractive alternative to metals due to its strong field confinement, comparably low ohmic loss and versatile tunability. Here we propose a novel nanostructure consisting of a monolayer graphene...
متن کاملStrong coupling between surface plasmon polaritons and emitters: a review
In this review we look at the concepts and state-of-the-art concerning the strong coupling of surface plasmon-polariton modes to states associated with quantum emitters such as excitons in J-aggregates, dye molecules and quantum dots. We explore the phenomenon of strong coupling with reference to a number of examples involving electromagnetic fields and matter. We then provide a concise descrip...
متن کاملStrong coupling between surface plasmon polaritons and Sulforhodamine 101 dye
We demonstrate a strong coupling between surface plasmon polaritons and Sulforhodamine 101 dye molecules. Dispersion curves for surface plasmon polaritons on samples with a thin layer of silver covered with Sulforhodamine 101 molecules embedded in SU-8 polymer are obtained experimentally by reflectometry measurements and compared to the dispersion of samples without molecules. Clear Rabi splitt...
