摘要 | Abstract An all-optical modulator with high modulation efficiency based on a graphene-plasmonic slot waveguide structure is proposed. The modulation efficiency is enhanced by the strong interaction between the light and the graphene–plasmonic structure. A modulation efficiency of 0.21?dB?μm?1 is obtained with the signal light at a wavelength of 1550 nm. A graphene–plasmonic slot waveguide device of length of 10 μm is fabricated in the experiment. Benefiting from the strong modulation, it is a promising candidate as an on-chip optical modulator with high modulation efficiency and micrometer-scale footprint. |
