description The paper describes results of the numerical simulation and experimental characterization of plasmonic gratings and waveguides in the optical range of 1520 – 1630 nm. Gold structures were coated with a 630-nm thick tetraethylorthosilicate layer to achieve higher coupling efficiency for plasmonic gratings using lensed optical probes. We experimentally demonstrated gold input/output plasmonic gratings with an efficiency of about – 3.8 ± 0.2 dB per grating. The measured loss of the plasmonic mode propagating over the surface of the gold waveguide was 0.14 ± 0.02 dB / μm. The work was carried out with the aim of studying integrated plasmonic structures for the development of a hybrid photonic-plasmonic integrated technology.
