Electrooptic modulation in thin film barium titanate plasmonic interferometers.

چکیده
We demonstrate control of the surface plasmon polariton wavevector in an active metal-dielectric plasmonic interferometer by utilizing electrooptic barium titanate as the dielectric layer. Arrays of subwavelength interferometers were fabricated from pairs of parallel slits milled in silver on barium titanate thin films. Plasmon-mediated transmission of incident light through the subwavelength slits is modulated by an external voltage applied across the barium titanate thin film. Transmitted light modulation is ascribed to two effects, electrically induced domain switching and electrooptic modulation of the barium titanate index.

A plasmonic modulator based on metal-insulator-metal waveguide with barium titanate core
We design a plasmonic modulator which can be utilized as a compact active device in photonic integrated circuits. The active material, barium titanate (BaTiO3), is sandwiched between metal plates and changes its refractive index under applied voltage. Some degree of switching of ferroelectric domains from the in-plane to out-of-plane orientation provides the change of the refractive index, whic...
متن کاملComparative analysis of barium titanate thin films dry etching using inductively coupled plasmas by different fluorine-based mixture gas
In this work, the inductively coupled plasma etching technique was applied to etch the barium titanate thin film. A comparative study of etch characteristics of the barium titanate thin film has been investigated in fluorine-based (CF4/O2, C4F8/O2 and SF6/O2) plasmas. The etch rates were measured using focused ion beam in order to ensure the accuracy of measurement. The surface morphology of et...
متن کاملElectrooptic and piezoelectric measurements in photorefractive barium titanate and strontium barium niobate
We have measured the low-frequency ("unclamped") electrooptic and piezoelectric coefficients in undoped BaTiO, and SrSa, -Nh2O6 (x = 0.61) crystals using interferometric techniques. The Contribution of the piezoelectric effect to the Pockels measurements is discussed. For an applied ac electric field in the range 0.1-200 V/cm, the electrooptic and piezoelectric effects are linear in the magnitu...
متن کاملHigh tunability in compositionally graded epitaxial barium strontium titanate thin films by pulsed-laser deposition
Compositionally graded barium strontium titanate @(BaxSr12x)TiO3—BST, x50.75, 0.8, 0.9, and 1.0# thin films are fabricated by pulsed-laser deposition on a LaAlO3 substrate with (La0.7Sr0.3)MnO3 as the bottom electrode. A high dielectric permittivity and temperature characteristic without Curie–Weiss law are obtained. A tunability of over 70% is obtained at frequency of 1 MHz, which is higher th...
متن کاملFabrication of Crack-Free Barium Titanate Thin Film with High Dielectric Constant Using Sub-Micrometric Scale Layer-by-Layer E-Jet Deposition
Dense and crack-free barium titanate (BaTiO₃, BTO) thin films with a thickness of less than 4 μm were prepared by using sub-micrometric scale, layer-by-layer electrohydrodynamic jet (E-jet) deposition of the suspension ink which is composed of BTO nanopowder and BTO sol. Impacts of the jet height and line-to-line pitch of the deposition on the micro-structure of BTO thin films were investigated...
