Bismuth Ferrite for Active Control of Surface Plasmon Polariton Modes
We propose and investigate several layouts of m etal-insulator-metal waveguide with active core which can be utilized for dynamic switching in photonic integrated circuits. The active material, bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3), is sandwiched between metal plates and changes i ts refractive index through partial switching of ferroelectric domain orientati on under applied voltage.
Both phase and amplitude modulations are envisaged.
