Digital Plasmonic Absorption Modulator Exploiting Epsilon-Near-Zero in Transparent Conducting Oxides
Optical switches operated around ε-near-zero (ENZ) of transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are analyzed. A digital optical switching behavior is derived that is quite different from earlier predictions. The digital modulation characteristic originates from the fact that the nonlinear swit...
