“…By coupling the output light into the optical power meter, the propagation loss of the LRSPP waveguide is measured at about 1.92 dB/cm by cut-back method, as shown in Figure 6 . The results show that the propagation loss is at least two times lower than other previously reported flexible LRSPP waveguide [ 37 , 38 ]. It also indicates that the quality of the fabricated LRSPP waveguide is very high.…”

A flexible thermo-optic variable attenuator based on long-range surface plasmon-polariton (LRSPP) waveguide for microwave photonic application was investigated. Low-loss polymer materials and high-quality silver strip were served as cladding layers and core layer of the LRSPP waveguide, respectively. By using finite element method (FEM), the thermal distribution and the optical field distribution have been carefully optimized. The fabricated device was characterized by end-fire excitation with a 1550 nm laser. The transmission performance of high-speed data and microwave modulated optical signal was measured while using a broadband microwave photonics link. The results indicated that the propagation loss of the LRSPP waveguide was about 1.92 dB/cm. The maximum attenuation of optical signal was about 28 dB at a driving voltage of 4.17 V, and the variable attenuation of microwave signals was obviously observed by applying different driving voltage to the heater. This flexible plasmonic variable attenuator is promising for chip-scale interconnection in high-density photonic integrated circuits and data transmission and amplitude control in microwave photonic systems.

A bulk refractive index sensor based on a straight long-range surface plasmon polariton (LRSPP) waveguide is theoretically designed. The waveguide sensor consists of an Au stripe that is embedded in ultraviolet sensitive polymer SU-8. The geometric parameters are optimized by finite difference eigenmode method at the optical wavelength of 850 nm. The sensitivity of 196 dB/RIU/mm can be obtained with a 1.5 μm wide, 25 nm thick Au stripe waveguide. Straight LRSPP waveguides are fabricated by a double layer lift-off process. Its optical transmission is characterized to experimentally prove the feasibility of the proposed design. This sensor has potential for the realization of a portable, low-cost refractometer.

“…Surface plasmon polaritons have been widely investigated in optical interconnection field, where they can provide local field enhancement and overcome the limitations of optical diffraction [1]. Longrange plasmon polaritons (LR SPP) are propagating surface plasmon waves, and have attracted a significant amount of attention because of their ultra-low propagation losses.…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A plasmonic sensing device based on an asymmetric long-range surface plasmon polaritons waveguide is proposed and investigated. The sensing structure consists of a microchamber and a gold strip with a cover layer, which is located on a dielectric supported by a silicon substrate. The optical and sensing properties of the device were studied using a finite element method. The sensitivity of the designed structure approaches 7.74 W/RIU for optimal sensing length and the limit of detection is 5.17 × 10 −7 RIU. The proposed device is appropriate for a wide range of sensing applications, in fields that include biochemistry, environmental science, food safety, and medicine.
