Plasmonic nanoantennas as integrated coherent perfect absorbers on SOI waveguides for modulators and all-optical switches.
The performance of plasmonic nanoantenna structures on top of SOI wire waveguides as coherent perfect absorbers for modulators and all-optical switches is explored. The absorption, scattering, reflection and transmission spectra of gold and aluminum nanoantenna-loaded waveguides were calculated by means of 3D finite-difference time-domain simulations for single waves propagating along the waveg...
متن کاملCoherent control of plasmonic nanoantennas using optical eigenmodes
The last decade has seen subwavelength focusing of the electromagnetic field in the proximity of nanoplasmonic structures with various designs. However, a shared issue is the spatial confinement of the field, which is mostly inflexible and limited to fixed locations determined by the geometry of the nanostructures, which hampers many applications. Here, we coherently address numerically and exp...
متن کاملSubmicron bidirectional all-optical plasmonic switches
Ultra-small all-optical switches are of importance in highly integrated optical communication and computing networks. However, the weak nonlinear light-matter interactions in natural materials present an enormous challenge to realize efficiently switching for the ultra-short interaction lengths. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a submicron bidirectional all-optical plasmonic switch with an a...
متن کاملElectrically tunable perfect light absorbers as color filters and modulators
Methods for spectrally controlling light absorption in optoelectronic devices have attracted considerable attention in recent years. It is now well known that a Fabry-Perot nanocavity comprising thin semiconductor and metal films can be used to absorb light at selected wavelengths. The absorption wavelength is controlled by tailoring the thickness of the nanocavity and also by nanostructure pat...
