We present a photonic-plasmonic mode converter using modecoupling-based polarization rotation for connecting a silicon wire and hybrid plasmonic waveguides on a metal-inserted silicon platform. By using the polarization rotator based on defect-introduced silicon wire waveguide, the proposed mode converter can convert the photonic TE mode into the h...

A metal-assisted silicon slot waveguide for highly sensitive gas detection is proposed. To show the superiority of the proposed structure, the optical confinement factor in the gas region and the sensitivity are theoretically investigated using the two-dimensional vector finite element method. Numerical results show that the proposed structure can...

A 3-D finite-element time-domain beam propagation method is described for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, for the analysis of transmission characteristics of any kind of photonic structures. In order to avoid nonphysical reflections from computational window edges, the perfectly matched layer boundary condition is introduced. Furtherm...

A rigorous definition of nonlinear parameter γ for high-index-contrast (HIC) periodic optical waveguides, such as photonic crystal (PC) optical waveguides, is proposed. The definition is fully vectorial, and approximations assumed in previous works are unnecessary. The γ values calculated by the proposed definition are compared with those obtained...

A 3-D finite-element mode-solver, based on a self-consistent algorithm, is newly developed for nonlinear periodic optical waveguides. The developed method makes it possible to calculate various nonlinear characteristics based on optical Kerr effect rigorously, including the nonlinear phase shift, the nonlinear refractive index distribution, and γ-v...

A PLC-based LP11 mode rotator is proposed. The proposed mode rotator is composed of a waveguide with a trench that provides asymmetry of the waveguide. Numerical simulations show that converting LP11a (LP11b) mode to LP11b (LP11a) mode can be achieved with high conversion efficiency (more than 90%) and little polarization dependence over a wide wav...

An ultrabroadband silicon wire polarization beam combiner/splitter (PBCS) based on a wavelength-insensitive coupler is proposed. The proposed PBCS consists of three identical directional couplers and two identical delay lines. We design the PBCS using the 3-D finite element method. Numerical simulations show that the proposed PBCS can achieve the t...

We present transmission-efficient bent and crossing silicon slot waveguides for compact silicon slot waveguide-based circuits. To begin with, using the 3-D vector finite-element method, we investigate the transmission characteristics of a bent silicon slot waveguide with an asymmetric slot that is connected to straight waveguides. Numerical results...

A three-dimensional vectorial finite element method (3-D-VFEM) for waveguide discontinuity problems is newly formulated and implemented. Through the use of the 3-D-VFEM, transmission characteristics of two types of crossing slot-waveguides with finite core-height are investigated for the first time. One is a direct crossing and the other is a cross...

Numerical simulations show that the designed device is compact compared with conventional-mode (de)...
