Octave-spanning low-loss mid-IR waveguides based on semiconductor-loaded plasmonics

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Plasmonic waveguides are crucial building blocks for integrated on-chip mid-infrared (mid-IR) sensors, which have recently attracted great interest as a sensing platform to target enhanced molecular sensing. However, while hosting a wide range of applications from spectroscopy to telecommunication, the mid-IR lacks suitable broadband solutions that provide monolithic integration with III-V materials. This work reports a novel concept based on hybrid semiconductor-metal surface plasmon polariton waveguides, which result in experimentally demonstrated low loss and broadband devices. Composed of a thin germanium slab on top of a gold layer, the waveguiding properties can be directly controlled by changing the geometrical parameters. The measured losses of our devices are as low as 6.73 dB/mm at 9.12 mu m and remain <15 dB/mm in the mid-IR range of 5.6-11.2 mu m. The octave-spanning capability of the waveguides makes them ideal candidates for combination with broadband mid-IR quantum cascade laser frequency combs and integrated spectroscopic sensors.
