This paper discusses modeling and optimizing the performance of hybrid plasmonic bidirectional coupler which is used as a basic building block in modeling highly transmission efficiency of optoelectronic devices such as filter, wavelength division multiplexer, logic gates and switching matrix with a help of an active material (indium tin oxide) that has an electrically-adjustable permittivity. All the proposed devices satisfied high transmission efficiencies at the desired output ports over a suitable wavelength range. The realized structures are characterized and simulated by 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD). The components would be useful in the optical interconnect networks, photonic integrated circuits and signal processing system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
