Plasmonic Mach-Zehnder Interferometers Based on Air-Gap Couplers

Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) are vital in optical biosensor applications and high-density integrated photonic circuits. In this research work, we theoretically investigate the design steps of MZIs, consisting of 3-dB plasmonic splitters sandwiched between two dielectric waveguides with an air...
