Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The surface plasmon waveguides and modulators have been developed for the application to opto-electronic integrated circuits operated with surface plasmons. Some surface plasmon waveguides, such as a low-loss waveguide with a photo-detection mechanism, have been developed in this study. A feasibility of current modulation of surface plasmons is still vague because the noise and long-term mechanical stability in the measurement system is not so high. Based on the results obtained in this study, it was confirmed that the metal wires used for electric bias in electronic devices are simultaneously applicable to the waveguide of surface plasmons in integrated circuits.
