我们报告的设计，制造和表征的热光马赫-曾德尔干涉调制器和方向耦合器开关，其操作利用长距离表面等离子体极化激元波导沿着15 nm的薄和8微米宽的金条嵌入在聚合物中，并通过电信号电流加热。该器件的特征在于光波长为1.55 μ m，具有低驱动功率（
We report design, fabrication, and characterization of thermo-optic Mach-Zender interferometric modulators and directional-coupler switches whose operation utilizes the long-range surface-plasmon-polariton waveguiding along 15-nm-thin and 8-mum-wide gold stripes embedded in polymer and heated by electrical signal currents. The devices are characterized at the light wavelength of 1.55 mum, featuring low driving powers (
