Abstract

The invention discloses a plasmon resonant wavelength division multiplexer which is composed of a metal film, one incident waveguide, more than two output waveguides and more than two resonant cavities. The incident waveguide, the output waveguides and resonant cavities are formed in the metal film in a hollowed way, the amount of the output waveguides is the same with that of the resonant cavities, and one output waveguide corresponds to one resonant cavity. The resonant cavities are arranged in the two sides and / or rear end of the incident waveguide and the output waveguides are arranged inthe other side of the resonant cavities to form the multiplexer, one metal film is additionally arranged in the internal of each resonant cavity so that the internal of the resonant cavity can form anF-P cavity, and surface plasmon SPP and the resonant cavities realize resonant coupling; thus, a resonant coupling effect between the surface plasmon SPP and the resonant cavities is utilized, and the sizes of the metal films in the resonant cavities are adjusted to separate multiple paths of plasmon signals and adjust the wavelengths of different channels; and the coupling distance can be changed to realize a specific coupling effect.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of micro-nano photons, in particular to a plasmon resonance wavelength division multiplexer. Background technique [0002] SPP devices in highly integrated optical circuits have broad application prospects because they overcome the traditional diffraction limit and can manipulate light on the sub-wavelength scale. Among the various plasma SPP structures that have been proposed, the metal-medium-metal (MIM) waveguide structure can support surface plasmon (SPPs) mode transmission and confine the modes in the dielectric layer, and has a strong resistance to light. The advantages of local capabilities, simplicity and ease of high integration, have great application potential in nano-integrated optics and devices. [0003] With the continuous development of science and technology, wavelength division multiplexers used in wavelength selection play an important role in optical calculations and electrical signal propagati...
