摘要: We developed a thermo-optic (TO) mode extinction modulator based on graphene plasmonic waveguide. For compact device design and fabrication, the waveguide heating element are configured all-in-one. Thermally induced inhomogeneous refractive-index distribution of polymer near microribbon cut off long-range surface plasmon polariton (LRSPP) stripe propagating along microribbon. Numerical modeling conducted time-dependent temperature (and hence refractive-index) by resistive inside TO modulator. Experimental results demonstrate 30 dB attenuation with 12 mW electrical power injection at telecom wavelength exhibit good agreement thermal modeling.
