Plasmonic Amplification through On-Chip, Four-Wave Mixing in Hybrid 2D Material Plasmonic Structures
Abstract
The proposal describes a three year program to investigate nonlinear plasmonic effects in planarsolid-state structures, working towards the realization of plasmonic amplifiers that are based onon-chip four-wave mixing effects. The four-wave mixing effect will be enhanced by integratingatomically thin two-dimensional (2D) crystals on top of plasmonic structure. 2D crystals, such asgraphene and monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, are known to host strong nonlinearinteractions, and due to their two-dimensional nature, they can be easily integrated with planarplasmonic devices. The development of plasmonic amplifiers based on these structures havepotential to manage the ohmic loss problem that is often detrimental in plasmonic technologiesand also has potential to enable a general purpose plasmonic transistor operating at THzfrequencies.
