摘要: 构建了一种金属-绝缘体-半导体混合表面等离子体结构,基于时域有限差分法验证了该结构在归一化频率0.243~0.271 (a/λ) 范围内具有明显的TM模式带隙。在二维光子晶体层移除或改变中间行空气孔半径构成线缺陷,形成混合波导结构1和2。分析表明,入射光频率位于带隙内的光子能量被很好的局域在低折射率层中,且只能沿线缺陷传输。当入射波长为1550nm时,两种波导的传输距离分别为18.41μm和15.70μm,群速度极值分别为0.186c和0.166c,品质因数FoM达到384.74和1042.50。此波导能通过光子晶体层的线缺陷控制低折射率层SPP的传输路径,为波导器件的研究提供了有效的理论基础和依据。

Abstract: A new type of metal-insulator-semiconductor hybrid surface plasmonic structure is proposed. Bandgap properties of the structure are investigated by finite-difference-time-domain method, and a clear plasmonic TM bandgap from 0.243~0.271(a/λ) can be formed. According to removing and changing the radius of the air holes in the middle of the two dimensional photonic crystal layer to compose line defect, hybrid waveguide structure 1 and 2 are constituted. The analysis shows that the photon energy whose frequency is located in the bandgap is well confined in the low index layer and only transmites in the line defect. Meanwhile, the transmission lengths at the wavelength of 1550nm are 18.41μm and 15.70μm respectively, the group velocity extreme values of the structure are 0.186c and 0.166c, and the quality factor FoM are 384.74 and 1042.50,respectively. The hybrid surface plasmonic photonic crystal waveguide can control the transmission path of the SPP wave in the low index layer through the line defect of photonic crystal layer. It provides the effective theory basis and evidence for the study of waveguide devices.
