Integrated Photonics and Plasmonics – Plasmonics Modulators
In this work we investigate new plasmonic modulator approaches and their viability on different material platforms.
Plasmonic modulators are the fastest and most compact devices that can switch light on and off with more than 170 GHz. They can be fabricated on nearly every dielectric material, making it possible to be implemented in a variety of technology.
Plasmonics is a promising technology for a broad range of applications, including future generations of optical / wireless communications as well as integrated sensor applications.

In this work we investigate new plasmonic modulator approaches and their viability on different material platforms. We will show how plasmonic modulators can be integrated with state-of-the art photonic components and will build the foundation for a new plasmonic-modulator platform.
This thesis provides an opportunity to gain knowledge and experience in state-of-the art photonic devices and their technology, in integrated photonics, plasmonics and electro-optic modulations. You will have the opportunity to develop new ideas and work with advanced simulation tools .

Plasmonic Mach-Zehnder modulators allow to modulate or switch light on and off with more than 170 GHz. These Modulators are fabricated on dielectric substrates and consist of plasmonic slot waveguides. Photonic waveguides are used to feed light to and from the plasmonic section of the modulator.
