The Effect of Metal Thickness on Si Wire to Plasmonic Slot Waveguide Mode Conversion
We investigate mode converters for Si wire to plasmonic slot waveguides at 1550 nm telecom wavelength. The structures are based on a taper geometry. We provide optimal dimensions with more than 90\% power transmission for a range of metal (Au) thicknesses between 30-250 nm. We provide details on how...
