研究目的
Investigating the performance of a CMOS-compatible hybrid plasmonic slot waveguide (HPSW) with enhanced field confinement.
研究成果
The proposed HPSW structure provides significantly enhanced field confinement and a better tradeoff between field confinement and propagation length compared to traditional waveguides. It is fully compatible with semiconductor fabrication techniques, offering potential for high-performance nanoscale semiconductor-based plasmonics and photonics.
研究不足
The study is based on simulations, and practical fabrication challenges are not addressed. The tradeoff between modal attenuation and propagation distance still exists.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a finite element method (FEM) to simulate the modal properties of the HPSW.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The simulation uses a wavelength of 1550 nm with refractive indices for Si, SiO2, air, and Ag specified.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The commercial software COMSOL is used for simulations.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study varies the thicknesses of different layers (Ag, Si, SiO2) to analyze their effects on field confinement and propagation length.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis includes calculating the confinement factor, propagation length, effective mode area, and figure of merit (FOM).
