Optical bistability based on Bragg grating resonators in metal-insulator-metal plasmonic waveguides

An optically bistable device based on a Bragg grating resonator with a nonlinear medium in metal-insulator-metal waveguides is proposed. Its properties are numerically investigated by a finite-difference time-domain method and further qualitatively analyzed by adopting Airy equation. Cavities with d...
