Abstract
An efficient plasmonic dichroic splitter based on periodic metallic nanoslits milled in the metal-dielectric-Si hybrid plasmonic waveguide is proposed and investigated. The backside incident photons illuminated on the dichroic splitting structure are coupled and launched into the hybrid plasmonic modes propagating to the left- or right-side depending on the wavelength. Proof-of-principle demonstrations show that the good coupling and splitting performances with coupling efficiency 0.5 and high splitting ratios 26.4Â dB at wavelength 1310Â nm (right:left power contrast), and 0.46 and 21.7Â dB at wavelength 1550Â nm (left:right power contrast) are achieved, respectively. The operation principle is clarified and the performance is discussed.
