Silicon Plasmonic Waveguides for the Infrared and Terahertz Regions

Abstract

Silicon-based plasmonic waveguides are proposed and studied theoretically. A silicon core, silicide underlay. and metal overlay yield propagation losses estimated to be less than 15 cm(exp -1) over the 50 um to 1000 um wavelength range.
