An All Optical 2 × 1 Multiplexer Using a Metal-Insulator-Metal based Plasmonic Waveguide for Processing at a Rapid Pace
This study proposes, designs, and simulates a unique plasmonic Y-shaped MIM waveguide based 2 × 1 multiplexer (MUX) structure utilising opti-FDTD software. Two plasmonic Y-shaped waveguides are positioned facing one another inside a minimum wafer size of 6 µm × 3.5 µm in the 2 × 1 MUX configurations...

| description | This study proposes, designs, and simulates a unique plasmonic Y-shaped MIM waveguide based 2 × 1 multiplexer (MUX) structure utilising opti-FDTD software. Two plasmonic Y-shaped waveguides are positioned facing one another inside a minimum wafer size of 6 µm × 3.5 µm in the 2 × 1 MUX configurations that is being described. The design parameters are adjusted until the plasmonic multiplexer performs as required under optimal conditions. Extinction ratio and insertion loss are two performance metrics that are calculated for performance analysis of the design, which indicate the potential to be applied in plasmonic integrated circuits. |
