Surface Plasmon Resonance Electro-optic Light Modulator Based on Polymer Grating Coupler

摘要

In this study, an electro-optic light modulator based on grating-coupled surface plasmon resonance is numerically investigated using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation. A new grating coupler structure is proposed and compared with the conventional one. The numerical simulation results show that the new structure has higher modulation efficiency.
