    摘要: An electro-optic element includes a first waveguide, which is a plasmonic waveguide, including a first core having a ferroelectric material and a cladding having a first cladding portion. The first cladding portion includes, at a first interface with the ferroelectric material, a first cladding material. The electro-optic element includes a first and a second electrode for producing an electric field in the ferroelectric material when a voltage is applied between the first and second electrodes, for modulating a real part of a refractive index of the ferroelectric material. The element includes, in addition, a crystalline substrate on which the ferroelectric material is epitaxially grown with zero or one or more intermediate layers present between the substrate and the ferroelectric material. The element may have a second waveguide, which is a photonic waveguide, including for enabling evanescent coupling between the first and second waveguides.

    摘要: Provided is a tunable electro-optic filter including a reflective structure including a first reflective layer including a pattern layer having a first meta-surface structure disposed on a first side of the liquid crystal layer and a second reflective layer including a second pattern layer having a second meta-surface structure disposed on a second side of the liquid crystal layer. Each of the first meta-surface structure and the second meta-surface structure includes multiple dielectric materials which are alternately stacked, and a thickness of each dielectric material gradually increases. Alternately, the tunable electro-optic filter may include a pattern layer having a meta-surface structure disposed on at least a side of the liquid crystal layer.

    摘要: A plasmonic switching device and method of providing a plasmonic switching device. An example device includes a resonant cavity and an electromagnetic radiation feed arranged to couple electromagnetic radiation into the resonant cavity and at least one plasmonic mode. The resonant cavity is arranged to be switchable between: a first state in which the resonant cavity has an operational characteristic selected to allow resonance of the electromagnetic radiation at a frequency of the at least one plasmonic mode; and a second state in which the operational characteristic of the resonant cavity is adjusted to inhibit resonance of the electromagnetic radiation at a frequency of the at least one plasmonic mode.
