    Area of Science:

    • Photonics and Nanotechnology
    • Plasmonics
    • Waveguide Design

    Background:

    • Traditional plasmonic waveguides primarily support transverse magnetic (TM) modes, limiting their use with unpolarized light sources.
    • Polarization dependence is a significant challenge in plasmonic devices, hindering integration with standard optical fibers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and analyze a novel hybrid plasmonic waveguide structure.
    • To overcome the inherent polarization dependence of conventional plasmonic waveguides.
    • To enable efficient guiding and processing of light with random polarization states.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing a hybrid plasmonic waveguide design combining vertical and horizontal configurations.
    • Employing finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations to analyze mode coupling and propagation.
    • Investigating anticrossing mode coupling between vertically and horizontally polarized surface plasmon polariton (SPP) modes.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated existence of both vertical and horizontal SPP modes within the hybrid waveguide.
    • Observed low birefringence and anticrossing mode coupling in the optimized structure.
    • Achieved polarization-selective coupling with efficiencies exceeding 65% for both polarizations.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed hybrid plasmonic waveguide effectively reduces polarization dependence.
    • The device facilitates efficient coupling of light from silicon waveguides to the combined waveguide.
    • This technology holds potential for applications in optical communication and signal processing using unpolarized light sources.
