Surface Plasmon Polariton Based Polarization Modulators Using Metal-polymer Waveguides

A tunable polarization modulator based on the periodic metal strips embedded in a polymer waveguide is presented. The periodic metallic structure is analyzed by Finite Element simulation (COMSOL). The calculation results show that the giant birefringence is formed by the selective cut-off of TE pola...
