Plasmon mode transformation in modulated-index metal-dielectric slot waveguides.
The concept of adiabatic mode transformation between silicon waveguide and surface plasmon-polariton modes in subwavelength metal-dielectric slots is investigated. The mode transformer consists of a modulated-index slot region, which is bound by two metal slabs. Using the design scheme, we will show that the optical dispersion of a modulated-index metal slot waveguide can be engineered well abo...
متن کاملPolarisation independent silicon-on-insulator slot waveguides
The minimisation of birefringence, or polarisation mode dispersion, is vital for simplifying and miniaturising photonic components. In this work, we present a systematic study of the slot waveguide geometries required for having zero birefringence (ZB). We show that the rail widths required for ZB are more strongly dependent on the height of the waveguide than on the slot separation. After whic...
متن کاملNonlinear plasmonic slot waveguides.
We study nonlinear modes in a subwavelength slot waveguide created by a nonlinear dielectric slab sandwiched between two metals. We present the dispersion diagrams of the families of nonlinear guided modes and reveal that the symmetric mode undergoes the symmetry-breaking bifurcation and becomes primarily localized near one of the interfaces. We also find that the antisymmetric mode may split i...
متن کاملTailored Chromatic Dispersion in Silicon-on-Insulator Slot Waveguides
We investigate the chromatic dispersion properties of silicon channel slot waveguides in a broad spectral region centered at ~1.5 μm. The variation of the dispersion profile as a function of the slot fill factor, i.e., the ratio between the slot and waveguide widths, is analyzed. Two different dispersion regimes are identified. Keywordsintegrated optics; silicon photonics; dispersion.
متن کاملGuided plasmonic modes of anisotropic slot waveguides.
We study guided optical modes of a planar plasmonic waveguide filled with a generic anisotropic medium. In particular, we show that both surface and oscillatory modes exist for such waveguides and find their numbers for two specific forms of the anisotropy tensor. We also show that lossless waveguides, characterized by a diagonal permittivity tensor, support simultaneously both the forward and ...
