Abstract
The paper describes results of the numerical simulation and experimental characterization of plasmonic gratings and waveguides in the optical range of 1520 – 1630 nm. Gold structures were coated with a 630-nm thick tetraethylorthosilicate layer to achieve higher coupling efficiency for plasmonic gratings using lensed optical probes. We experimentally demonstrated gold input/output plasmonic gratings with an efficiency of about – 3.8 ± 0.2 dB per grating. The measured loss of the plasmonic mode propagating over the surface of the gold waveguide was 0.14 ± 0.02 dB / μm. The work was carried out with the aim of studying integrated plasmonic structures for the development of a hybrid photonic-plasmonic integrated technology.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
