摘要: In this paper, an all-optical plasmonic switch based on metal–insulator–metal (MIM) nanoplasmonic waveguide with a Kerr nonlinear ring resonator is introduced and studied. Two-dimensional simulations utilizing the finite-difference time-domain algorithm are used to demonstrate an apparent optical bistability and significant switching mechanisms (in enabled-low condition: T (ON/OFF)= 21.9 and in enabled-high condition: T (ON/OFF)= 24.9) of the signal light arisen by altering the pump-light intensity. The proposed all-optical …
