Plasmonic high-order harmonic generation (HHG) is used in nanoscale optical applications because it can help in realizing a compact coherent ultrashort pulse generator on the nanoscale, using plasmonic field enhancement. The plasmonic amplification of nanostructures induces nonlinear optical phenomena such as second-order harmonic generation, third-order harmonic generation, frequency mixing, and HHG. This amplification also causes damage to the structure itself. In this study, the plasmonic amplification according to the design of a metal-coated sapphire conical structure is theoretically calculated, and we analyze the effects of this optical amplification on HHG and damage to the sample.

We investigated surface-roughness-dependent optical loss in a plasmonic cavity consisting of a semiconductor nanodisk/silver nanopan structure. Numerical simulations show that the quality factors of plasmonic resonant modes significantly depend on the surface roughness of the dielectric-metal interface in the cavity structure. In the transverse-magnetic-like whispering-gallery plasmonic mode excited in a structure with disk diameter of 1000 nm, the total quality factor decreased from 260 to 130 with increasing root-mean-square (rms) surface roughness from 0 to 5 nm. This quantitative theoretical study shows that the smooth metal surface plays a critical role in high-performance plasmonic devices.

We have investigated the optical properties of plamonic waveguide with tapered structure based on InP material for photonic integrated circuit(PIC). The proposed plasmonic waveguide is covered with the Ag thin film to generate the plasmonic wave on metallic interface. The optical characteristics of plasmonic waveguide were calculated using the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. The plasmonic waveguide was fabricated with the lengths of 2 to $10{\mu}m$ and the widths of 400 to 700 nm, respectively. The plasmonic mode and optical loss were measured. The optimum plasmonic length is $10{\mu}m$ and widths are 600 and 700 nm in the fabricated waveguide. This plasmonic waveguide can be directly integrated with other conventional optical devices and can be essential building blocks of PIC.

최근 표면 플라즈몬 효과는 광 신호 향상에 중요하게 대두되고 있는 분야로써, 약한 광학적 신호를 증가시킴에 따라 바이오 분야나 뉴로사이언스에 매우 중요한 분야로 대두되었다. 플라즈모닉 구조를 제작하기 위해선 나노 구조의 크기 높이 그리고 입사광의 입사각 등 다양한 변수들이 존재하는데 본 논문에서는 플라즈모닉 나노구조의 제작을 위한 은 증착 높이에 따른 플라즈모닉 나노구조의 광학적 특성에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 은 증착은 플라즈모닉 효과를 보기 위해 다양하게 사용하고 있는 금속으로 특정 파장에 반응을 보기 위해 제작한 구조 형태와 유사한 구조를 시간영역 유한차분(FDTD)법을 통해 광 특성을 예측하여, 최종적으로 제작한 구조의 은 나노 입자 부근에 에너지가 집중되는 결과를 확인하였다.

We present an efficient design approach for a plasmonic slot waveguide using a genetic algorithm. The analyzed structure consists of a nanometric slot in a thin metallic film embedded within a dielectric. To achieve high confinement without long propagation length, the thickness and width of the slot are optimally designed in order to optimize the figures of merit including mode confinement and propagation length. The optimized design is based on the finite element method and enhances the guiding and focusing of light power propagation.

It is discovered in [7] that a dielectric material is coated by a plasmonic material of negative permittivity with dissipation, then cloaking by anomalous localized resonance may occur as the dissipation tends to zero. In this paper, we investigate numerically the pointwise behavior of the potential in the shell when cloaking by anomalous localized resonance (CALR) occurs. By changing locations a dipole source, we can observe some localizing properties of the potential in the shell.

플라즈마 다중모드 간섭 결합기 (MMIC)를 계단형으로 구성하여 전형적인 방법으로 설계된 MMIC 보다 결합길이를 현저하게 줄일 수 있는 새로운 구조가 본 논문에서 제안되었다. 전송폭이 계단형인 플라즈마 MMIC에서 60%의 cross 전력분배율에 대하여, 결합길이는 약 42%가 줄어들었다. 또한, 굴절률 변화에 따른 플라즈마 MMIC의 전력분배율과 결합길이는 약 2~6%로 거의 변화가 없었으나, 전송폭을 변화 시켰을 때 전력분배율과 결합길이는 약 30~40%로 큰 변화를 나타내었다.

It has been a critical issue to reduce the size of spectrometers in many fields such as on-chip chemical and biological sensing. The proposed plasmonic channel-waveguide with a sub-micrometer width has a cutoff frequency which enables us to control wavelength dependent propagation properties. We focused on the capability of the waveguide for spectral-to-spatial mapping when the waveguide width changes gradually. In this paper, we propose a plasmonic tapered channel-waveguide structure as a compact spectrometer with a physical size of $0.24{\times}2.0{\times}0.20{\mu}m^3$. The scattering point just above the tapered waveguide moves linearly depending on the wavelength of the injecting light. The spectral-to-spatial mapping can be improved by increasing the tapered length.

2개의 플라즈마 다중모드 간섭 결합기 (P-MMIC)와 DFB 전송구조를 결합하여 하나의 새로운 초소형 광 편향기를 구현하였다. $2{\times}1$과 $1{\times}2$ P-MMIC를 연결하는 내부 DFB 구조로부터 반사되거나 투과되는 TE, TM 모드들의 편향된 전력들을 P-MMIC를 통하여 출력되도록 설계하였다. 수치해석 결과 설계된 DFB 구조형 플라즈마 다중모드 간섭 결합기의 크기는 약 $75{\mu}m$로 매우 작았으며, 낮은 삽입손실과 높은 분리비율을 보였다. 더욱이, DFB 전송구조의 대역폭은 약 20 nm로 광대역 특성을 나타내었다.

This paper presents a new, efficient hybrid photonic-plasmonic structure. The proposed structure efficiently and with very high accuracy combines the resonant mode of a low-mode-volume photonic-crystal nanocavity with a bowtie nanoantenna's plasmonic resonance. The resulting enormous enhancement of light intensity of about $1.1{\times}10^7$ in the gap region of the bowtie nanoantenna, due to the effective optical-resonance combination, is realized by subtle optimization of the nanocavity's optical characteristics. This coupled structure holds great promise for many applications relying on strong confinement and enhancement of optical field in nanoscale volumes, including antennas (communication and information), optical trapping and manipulation, sensors, data storage, nonlinear optics, and lasers.
