The proposed plasmonic demultiplexer demonstrates high Q-factors and low crosstalk, with the unique feature of adjustable output power ratio through applied voltage. This design offers potential for compact on-chip plasmonic systems and applications in various optical devices.
研究不足
The study is based on numerical simulations, and practical implementation may face challenges related to material properties and fabrication precision. The tunability range is limited by the liquid crystal's response to applied voltage.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs finite element method (FEM) for numerical simulation to investigate the properties of the proposed plasmonic demultiplexer. The design includes two half-nanodisk cavities and two sets of E7 liquid crystal arrays side-coupled to three MDM waveguides.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The simulation focuses on the demultiplexer's ability to split input lights into two parts corresponding to 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The structure utilizes E7 liquid crystal arrays and MDM waveguides. The relative permittivity of materials is defined, with air set to 1 and silver described by the Drude-model.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
A TM polarized plane wave is launched to excite SPPs at the input port. The transmission spectra and magnetic field distribution are analyzed to understand the demultiplexer's performance.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The transmission and crosstalk values are calculated to evaluate the demultiplexer's efficiency. The Q-factors are determined to assess the energy storage in the resonator.
