Problems solved by technology

Since the introduction and development of photonic crystal waveguides and surface plasmon waveguides, highly integrated, low-loss waveguide devices have received widespread attention. However, due to the huge loss caused by metals and the edge effect of the medium, optical waveguide devices are difficult While maintaining the mode confinement ability, the long transmission distance is maintained, while the transmission distance of the traditional hybrid plasmonic waveguide is only tens to hundreds of microns, so the transmission effect and transmission of the traditional hybrid plasmonic waveguide polarization filter rate is not superior

Abstract

The TM-pass polarization filter comprises a substrate, supporting layers, a high-refractive-index waveguide area, spacing layers and metal layers, the high-refractive-index waveguide area is arranged in the middle of the upper surface of the substrate, and the supporting layers are arranged on the upper surface of the substrate and located on the two sides of the high-refractive-index waveguide area. The metal layer is arranged above the supporting layer and is supported above the high-refractive-index waveguide region through the supporting layer, and the spacing layer is arranged between the metal layer and the supporting layer; the high-refractive-index waveguide region comprises an arch-column-shaped input waveguide, an arch-column-shaped mixed plasmon waveguide and an arch-column-shaped output waveguide which are connected in sequence, the size of the arch-column-shaped input waveguide is consistent with that of the arch-column-shaped output waveguide, and the width of the arch-column-shaped mixed plasmon waveguide is smaller than that of the arch-column-shaped input waveguide and that of the arch-column-shaped output waveguide. According to the invention, the TE mode can be effectively filtered, the transmission of the TM mode with long transmission distance can be realized, and the loss caused by the corner effect can be effectively avoided.
