Hybrid graphene plasmonic waveguide modulators
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 کاملPropose, Analysis and Simulation of an All Optical Full Adder Based on Plasmonic Waves using Metal-Insulator-Metal Waveguide Structure
This paper proposes a full adder with minimum power consumption and lowloss with a central frequency of 1550nm using plasmonic Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM)waveguide structure and rectangular cavity resonator. This full adder operates based onXOR and AND logic gates. In this full adder, the resonant wave composition of the firstand second modes has been used and we have ob...
متن کاملExcitation of plasmonic waves in graphene by guided-mode resonances.
We propose an active plasmonic device based on graphene. Highly confined plasmonic waves in monolayer graphene are efficiently excited using an etched diffractive grating on silicon. The guided-wave resonance of the combined structure creates a sharp notch on the normal-incidence transmission spectra, as the incident optical wave couples to the graphene plasmonic wave. This structure can be use...
متن کاملUltra-compact silicon nanophotonic modulator with broadband response
Electro-optic modulators have been identifi ed as the key drivers for optical communication and signal processing. With an ongoing miniaturization of photonic circuitries, an outstanding aim is to demonstrate an on-chip, ultra-compact, electro-optic modulator without sacrifi cing bandwidth and modulation strength. While silicon-based electro-optic modulators have been demonstrated, they require...
متن کاملA CMOS-Compatible, low-energy consumption Franz-Keldysh effect Plasmonic Modulator Active Region
In this abstract we report on the design of a low energy consumption CMOS-compatible FranzKeldysh effect plasmonic modulator. The main characteristics of the modulator were determined using integrated electro-optical simulations. A 3.3 dB extinction ratio for a 30 μm long modulator was demonstrated under 3 V bias voltage at an operation wavelength of 1647 nm. The estimated energy consumption wa...
