Improved transmission model for metal-dielectric-metal plasmonic waveguides with stub structure.
We present an improved analytical model describing transmittance of a metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) waveguide coupled to an arbitrary number of stubs. The model is built on the well-known analogy between MDM waveguides and microwave transmission lines. This analogy allows one to establish equivalent networks for different MDM-waveguide geometries and to calculate their optical transmission spect...
متن کاملCompact slit-based couplers for metal-dielectric-metal plasmonic waveguides.
We introduce compact wavelength-scale slit-based structures for coupling free space light into metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) subwave-length plasmonic waveguides. We first show that for a single slit structure the coupling efficiency is limited by a trade-off between the light power coupled into the slit, and the transmission of the slit-MDM waveguide junction. We next consider a two-section slit...
متن کاملGain-induced switching in metal-dielectric-metal plasmonic waveguides
The authors show that the incorporation of gain media in only a selected device area can annul the effect of material loss, and enhance the performance of loss-limited plasmonic devices. In addition, they demonstrate that optical gain provides a mechanism for on/off switching in metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) plasmonic waveguides. The proposed gain-assisted plasmonic switch consists of a subwavel...
متن کاملNanoscale Plasmonic Devices Based onMetal-Dielectric-Metal Stub Resonators
We review some of the recent research activities on plasmonic devices based on metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) stub resonators for manipulating light at the nanoscale. We first introduce slow-light subwavelength plasmonic waveguides based on plasmonic analogues of periodically loaded transmission lines and electromagnetically induced transparency. In both cases, the structures consist of a MDM wav...
متن کاملHybrid plasmonic waveguides formed by metal coating of dielectric ridges.
Bound hybrid plasmon-polariton modes supported by waveguides, which are formed by gold coating of ridges etched into a silica substrate, are analyzed using numerical simulations and investigated experimentally using near-field microscopy at telecom wavelengths (1425-1625 nm). Drastic modifications of the fundamental mode profile along with changes in the mode confinement and propagation loss ar...
