Nanomaterials in Nanophotonics Structure for Performing All-Optical 2 × 1 Multiplexer Based on Elliptical IMI-Plasmonic Waveguides

In this study, an all-optical multiplexer (Mux) based on elliptical insulator-metal-insulator (IMI) plasmonic waveguides is designed. The area of the proposed structure is very small (400 nm × 400 nm) which operates at a wavelength of 1,550 nm. The developed device utilizes constructive and destruct...

description In this study, an all-optical multiplexer (Mux) based on elliptical insulator-metal-insulator (IMI) plasmonic waveguides is designed. The area of the proposed structure is very small (400 nm × 400 nm) which operates at a wavelength of 1,550 nm. The developed device utilizes constructive and destructive interferences between the input signals and the selector signal. This structure is less complex and has lower loss compared to the previous works. Transmission (T), contrast ratio (CR), modulation depth (MD), insertion loss (IL), and contrast loss (CL) are the five parameters that describe the performance of the plasmonic Mux. The transmission threshold between logic 0 and logic 1 is 0.5. Moreover, the maximum transmission efficiency of the device is 163%. Moreover, based on the MD value of 95.09%, the dimensions of the proposed structure are excellent and optimal. The proposed plasmonic Mux structure contributes substantially to developing an all-optical arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and all-optical signal processing nanocircuits. The finite element method (FEM) simulates the proposed plasmonic multiplexer with COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4 software.
