- Abstract
We theoretically demonstrate an ultra-compact plasmonic modulator and switch of sub-micron size using elasto-optic effect with quite acceptable modulation ratio. The device is based on metal-dielectric-metal waveguide structure and uses resonance phenomena. The modulation mechanism originates by electrically changing thickness of dielectric layer made of elasto-optic material, which changes the effective refractive index of propagating optical mode. All the results are obtained using FEM simulation software. The seamless integration of optical beam modulation bears significant potential towards broadband, compact and efficient communication links and circuits.
