Electro-Optic Plasmonic Modulator With Direct Coupling to Silicon Waveguides

A novel plasmonic Mach–Zehnder interferometer is proposed with a nonlinear polymer. Orthogonal junction coupling between silicon and plasmonic waveguides is exploited to omit the need for tapers, and in turn, reduce the footprint. An extinction ratio of about 16 dB is produced at a voltag...
