Active Plasmonics, Option 3 Report

Abstract

Over the third year of the grant, our research program in active plasmonics has concentrated on developing ultracompact all-optical and electro-optic modulators based on metal-insulator-metal Fabry-Perot resonators. Highlights over the past year include: *Realization of tunable color filter pixels based on plasmonic metal-insulator-metal waveguides and *Demonstration of a plasMOStor, a Si CMOS plasmonic electro-optic modulator. Another significant development was the collaborative work (with Yariv and Scherer groups at Caltech) of an electrically pumped hybrid evanescent Si/InGaAsP laser. Diest and Atwater developed the InP/Si bonding technology needed to realize active electrically pumped InP-based lasers on Si.
