摘要: Abstract In this paper we propose and study a new hybrid plasmonic waveguide structure with gain medium. The is based on silicon platform medium to be III–V material, which can electrically pumped. whole realized through the bonding technique. An adhesive polymer layer adopted in process acts as low refractive index here waveguide. Further simulation presented shows that moderate coefficient of 891 cm −1 required for lossless propagation while keeping subwavelength modal size, especially lateral direction important high density integration. Considering fabrication compatibility, SPP would highly favorable photonics.
