Plasmonic slow light waveguide with hyperbolic metamaterials claddings
2018
Plasmonic waveguides with an insulator core sandwiched between hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) claddings, i.e. HIH waveguide, are investigated for achieving wide slow-light band with adjustable working wavelength. The transfer matrix method and the finite-difference-time-domain simulation are employed to study waveguide dispersion characteristics and pulse propagation. By selecting proper silver filling ratios for HMMs, the hetero-HIH waveguide presents a slow-light band with a zero group velocity dispersion wavelength of 1.55 μm and is capable of buffering pulses with pulse width as short as ~20 fs. This type of waveguides might be applicable for ultrafast slow-light application.
