Nonlinear infrared plasmonic waveguide arrays
The large negative permittivity of noble metals in the infrared region prevents the possibility of highly confined plasmons in simple waveguide structures such as thin films or rods. This is a critical obstacle to applications of nonlinear plasmonics in the telecommunication wavelength region. We theoretically propose and numerically demonstrate that such limitation can be overcome by exploitin...
متن کاملA hybrid plasmonic waveguide for subwavelength confinement and long-range propagation
The emerging field of nanophotonics1 addresses the critical challenge of manipulating light on scales much smaller than the wavelength. However, very few feasible practical approaches exist at present. Surface plasmon polaritons are among the most promising candidates for subwavelength optical confinement. However, studies of long-range surface plasmon polaritons have only demonstrated optical ...
متن کاملWedge hybrid plasmonic THz waveguide with long propagation length and ultra-small deep-subwavelength mode area
We present a novel design of wedge hybrid plasmonic terahertz (THz) waveguide consisting of a silicon (Si) nanowire cylinder above a triangular gold wedge with surrounded high-density polyethylene as cladding. It features long propagation length and ultra-small deep-subwavelength mode confinement. The mode properties of wedge hybrid plasmonic THz waveguide are comprehensively characterized in t...
متن کاملAdjustable subwavelength localization in a hybrid plasmonic waveguide.
The hybrid plasmonic waveguide consists of a high-permittivity dielectric nanofiber embedded in a low-permittivity dielectric near a metal surface. This architecture is considered as one of the most perspective candidates for long-range subwavelength guiding. We present qualitative analysis and numerical results which reveal advantages of the special waveguide design when dielectric constant of...
متن کاملSlow-Light in Nonuniform Quantum Dot Waveguide
We analyzed a new variable all-optical buffer using semiconductor quantum dots (QD). We show that an Ids-InGaAs-GaAs QD waveguide with 20meV inhomogeneous linewidth can achieve substantial buffering with a novel unbalanced multi-wavelength pumping scheme. Introduction: The advancement of 111-V semiconductor quantum dots (QD) has made many interesting applications, such as ultra-low threshold di...
