Electrical-Pumped Active Plasmonic with InP-Based Quantum Wells

Article Preview

Abstract:

The InP-based wafers with InGaAsP multiple Quantum Wells (QWs) were designed for the loss compensation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). Electrical-pumped device was fabricated by conventional III-V processes and e-Beam lithography (EBL) technology. When forward voltage is added on the device, it is observed that the gain of the quantum wells at 1.55μm assist the propagation of SPPs.
