Thermally Controllable High-Efficiency Unidirectional Coupling in a Double-Slit Structure Filled With Phase Change Material

We present the realization of a high-efficiency, compact, and thermally tunable unidirectional launcher of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in a double-slit structure filled with phase change materials (PCMs). PCMs such as VO2 provide a feasible way for tailoring optical properties, particularly re...
