Abstract

Active plasmonics is an attractive emerging field in which the ability to control the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) propagation finds many applications such as realization of fully functional integrated photonic circuitry. We demonstrate both numerically and experimentally switching of the SPP transmission based on two different approaches namely the all-optical and electro-optical at telecom wavelengths. The plasmonic component consists of a compact and efficient SPP switch utilizing highly sensitive ring resonator which has high sensitivity to the refractive index changes. Fabrication was done via e-beam lithography utilizing advanced proximity corrections. The compenents were characterized via scanning near field optical microscope (SNOM) and leakage radiation microscopy respectively. Large modulations of upto ~ 40 % in SPP mode transmission were observed.
