论文摘要
我们使用二氧化钒作为绝缘体上硅上的调节材料,基于混合正交银连接剂的等离激元调节剂。调节器的超紧密占地面积为1.8μmx1μm,基于正交几何形状,具有100nm x 100nm调节截面。我们利用二氧化钒过渡期间的二氧化钒折射率的巨大变化,以达到46.89db/μm的高调制深度。我们还为开发该设备提供了制造策略。设备的几何形状在下一代高频光子调制器的开发中具有潜在的应用,以进行光学通信,该光子通信需要纳米尺度足迹,大调制深度和小插入损失。
We present a plasmonic modulator based on hybrid orthogonal silver junctions using vanadium dioxide as the modulating material on the silicon on insulator. The modulator has an ultra-compact footprint of 1.8μm x 1μm with a 100nm x 100nm modulating section based on the orthogonal geometry. We take advantage of large change in the refractive index of vanadium dioxide during its phase transition to achieve a high modulation depth of 46.89dB/μm. We also provide a fabrication strategy for the development of this device. The device geometry has potential applications in the development of next generation high frequency photonic modulators for optical communications which require a nanometer scale footprint, large modulation depth and small insertion losses.
