Abstract:
Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials with excellent optical properties and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) compatibility have promising application prospects for developing highly efficient, small-scale all-optical modulators. However, due to the weak nonlinear light-material interaction, high power density and large contact area are usually required, resulting in low light modulation efficiency. In addition, the use of such large-band-gap materials limits the modulation wavelength. In this study, we propose an all-optical modulator integrated Si waveguide and single-layer MoS2 with a plasmonic nanoslit, wherein modulation and signal light beams are converted into plasmon through nanoslit confinement and together are strongly coupled to 2D MoS2. This enables MoS2 to absorb signal light with photon energies less than the bandgap, thereby achieving high-efficiency amplitude modulation at 1550 nm. As a result, the modulation efficiency of the device is up to 0.41 dB μm−1, and the effective size is only 9.7 µm. Compared with other 2D material-based all-optical modulators, this fabricated device exhibits excellent light modulation efficiency with a micron-level size, which is potential in small-scale optical modulators and chip-integration applications. Moreover, the MoS2-plasmonic nanoslit modulator also provides an opportunity for TMDs in the application of infrared optoelectronics.

Abstract:
AbstractDue to their novel electronic and optical properties, atomically thin layered two-dimensional (2D) materials are becoming promising to realize novel functional optoelectronic devices including photodetectors, modulators, and lasers. However, light–matter interactions in 2D materials are often weak because of the atomic-scale thickness, thus limiting the performances of these devices. Metallic nanostructures supporting surface plasmon polaritons show strong ability to concentrate light within subwavelength region, opening thereby new avenues for strengthening the light–matter interactions and miniaturizing the devices. This review starts to present how to use metallic nanostructures to enhance light–matter interactions in 2D materials, mainly focusing on photoluminescence, Raman scattering, and nonlinearities of 2D materials. In addition, an overview of ultraconfined acoustic-like plasmons in hybrid graphene–metal structures is given, discussing the nonlocal response and quantum mechanical features of the graphene plasmons and metals. Then, the review summarizes the latest development of 2D material–based optoelectronic devices integrated with plasmonic nanostructures. Both off-chip and on-chip devices including modulators and photodetectors are discussed. The potentials of hybrid 2D materials plasmonic optoelectronic devices are finally summarized, giving the future research directions for applications in optical interconnects and optical communications.

Abstract:
The tunable and highly confined plasmon in 2D materials paves the way for designing 2D materials capable of manipulating light on a subwavelength scale, making them suitable for the design of optical modulators in ultracompact sizes. Herein, a continuously adjustable modulator in the telecommunication band is theoretically presented by the strong coupling between the magnetic plasmons (MPs) and borophene surface plasmons (BSPs). A remarkable Rabi splitting is observed and the coupling process is theoretically investigated by the model of two coupled oscillators. Results show that the splitting energy is determined by the coupling strength, which can be modulated by adjusting the distance between the borophene monolayer and silver grating. Moreover, by manipulating the electron density of the borophene to drive both two modes coupled or decoupled, the absorption can be continuously adjustable almost from 0 to 1 at 1544 nm, and the maximum modulation depth can be up to 94.8%. This work may provide a method to enhance light–matter interactions by the coupled multi-modes and design borophene-based plasmonic modulator.

Abstract:The ongoing quest for ultra-compact optical devices has reached a bottleneck due to the diffraction limit in conventional photonics. New approaches that provide subwavelength optical elements, and therefore lead to miniaturization of the entire photonic circuit, are urgently required. Plasmonics, which combines nanoscale light confinement and optical-speed processing of signals, has the potential to enable the next generation of hybrid information-processing devices, which are superior to the current photonic dielectric components in terms of speed and compactness. New plasmonic materials (other than metals), or optical materials with metal-like behavior, have recently attracted a lot of attention due to the promise they hold to enable low-loss, tunable, CMOScompatible devices for photonic technologies. In this review, we provide a systematic overview of various compact optical modulator designs that utilize a class of the most promising new materials as the active layer or core— namely, transparent conducting oxides. Such modulators can be made low-loss, compact, and exhibit high tunability while offering low cost and compatibility with existing semiconductor technologies. A detailed analysis of different configurations and their working characteristics, such as their extinction ratio, compactness, bandwidth, and losses, is performed identifying the most promising designs.

Abstract:
AbstractSubwavelength modulators play an indispensable role in integrated photonic-electronic circuits. Due to weak light-matter interactions, it is always a challenge to develop a modulator with a nanometer scale footprint, low switching energy, low insertion loss and large modulation depth. In this paper, we propose the design of a vanadium dioxide dual-mode plasmonic waveguide electroabsorption modulator using a metal-insulator-VO2-insulator-metal (MIVIM) waveguide platform. By varying the index of vanadium dioxide, the modulator can route plasmonic waves through the low-loss dielectric insulator layer during the “on” state and high-loss VO2 layer during the “off” state, thereby significantly reducing the insertion loss while maintaining a large modulation depth. This ultracompact waveguide modulator, for example, can achieve a large modulation depth of ~10 dB with an active size of only 200×50×220 nm3 (or ~λ3/1700), requiring a drive-voltage of ~4.6 V. This high performance plasmonic modulator could potentially be one of the keys towards fully-integrated plasmonic nanocircuits in the next-generation chip technology.

Abstract:
Abstract As a key component of on-chip interconnection, optical modulator with large modulation depth and tiny footprint has always been studied. Profiting by high carrier mobility and flexible adjustability of graphene, numerous graphene modulators at optical communication band are proposed to overcome inherent flaws of traditional semiconductor waveguide modulators. Here, a terahertz waveguide modulator combing noble metal and graphene is presented. When Fermi level changes from 0 eV to 1 eV, intensity distribution of electric field becomes dispersed. Interaction area of graphene and wave increases, which results in larger propagation loss. On the premise of the existence of the allowed mode, the size of metal and the thickness of dielectric should be small. Besides, modulation capability of this device can also be improved by multilayer graphene with relaxation time of 0.1 ps. After optimizing structure parameters, the designed graphene waveguide modulator obtains modulation depth of 6.1 dB μm−1 at the frequency of 5 THz, and keeps effective mode area below 10−5. With the increase of frequency, modulation depth decreases. Modulation depth of 1.5 dB μm−1 is achieved at 10 THz, but the corresponding effective mode area remains in an ideal range. Because the allowed mode is confined in a tiny room, cross-sectional area of device is less than 4 μm2.

Abstract:
Ce travail vise à concevoir un modulateur optique assisté par plamsons, compatible CMOS et à faible consommation électrique. L’électro-absorption, basée sur l’effet Franz-Keldysh dans le germanium, a été choisie comme principe de modulation pour réduire la taille du dispositif et la consommation d'énergie électrique associée. L’effet Franz-Keldysh se traduit par un changement du coefficient d'absorption du matériau près du bord de bande sous l'application d'un champ électrique statique, d'où la production d'une modulation directe de l'intensité lumineuse. L'utilisation de plasmons permet en principe d’augmenter l'effet électro-optique en raison du fort confinement du mode optique. Un outil de simulation électro-optique intégré a été développé pour concevoir et optimiser le modulateur. Le modulateur plasmonique proposé a un taux d'extinction de 3.3 dB avec des pertes d'insertion de 11.2 dB et une consommation électrique de seulement 20 fJ/bit, soit la plus faible consommation électrique décrite pour les modulateurs photoniques sur silicium. Le couplage du modulateur à un guide silicium standard en entrée et en sortie a également été optimisé par l’introduction d'un adaptateur de mode Si-Ge optimisé, réduisant les pertes de couplage à seulement 1 dB par coupleur. Par ailleurs, un travail expérimental a été effectué pour tenter de déplacer l'effet Franz-Keldysh, maximum à 1650 nm, à de plus faibles longueurs d'onde proches de 1.55 μm pour des applications aux télécommunications optiques
This work aims to design a CMOS compatible, low-electrical power consumption modulator assisted by plasmons. For compactness and reduction of the electrical power consumption, electro-absorption based on the Franz-Keldysh effect in Germanium was chosen for modulation. It consists in the change of the absorption coefficient of the material near the band edge under the application of a static electric field, hence producing a direct modulation of the light intensity. The use of plasmons allows enhancing the electro-optical effect due to the high field confinement. An integrated electro-optical simulation tool was developed to design and optimize the modulator. The designed plasmonic modulator has an extinction ratio of 3.3 dB with insertion losses of 13.2 dB and electrical power consumption as low as 20 fJ/bit, i.e. the lowest electrical power consumption reported for silicon photonic modulators. In- and out-coupling to a standard silicon waveguide was also engineered by the means of an optimized Si-Ge taper, reducing the coupling losses to only 1 dB per coupler. Besides, an experimental work was carried out to try to shift the Franz-Keldysh effect, which is maximum at 1650 nm, to lower wavelength close to 1.55 μm for telecommunication applications

Abstract:
Demand for high-speed optical modulators and narrow-bandwidth infrared thermal emitters for numerous applications continues to rise and new optical devices are needed to deal with massive data flows, processing powers, and fabrication costs. Conventional techniques are usually hindered by material limitations or electronic interconnects and advances in organic nanocomposite materials and their integration into photonic integrated circuits (PICs) have been acknowledged as a promising alternative to single crystal techniques. The work presented in this thesis uses plasmonic and magneto-optic effects towards the development of novel optical devices for harnessing light and generating high bandwidth signals (> 40GHz) at room and cryogenic temperatures (4.2°K). Several publications have resulted from these efforts and are listed at the end of the abstract. In our first published research we developed a narrow-bandwidth mid-infrared thermal emitter using an Ag/dielectric/Ag thin film structure arranged in hexagonal planar lattice structures. PECVD produced nanoamorphous carbon (NAC) is used as a dielectric layer. Spectrally tunable (>2 μm) and narrow bandwidth (<0.5 μm) emission peaks in the range of 4-7μm were demonstrated by decreasing the resistivity of NAC from 10¹² and 10⁹ Ω.cm with an MoSi₂ dopant and increasing the emitter lattice constant from 4 to 7 μm. This technique offers excellent flexibility for developing cost-effective mid-IR sources as compared to costly fiber and quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). Next, the effect of temperature on the Verdet constant for cobalt-ferrite polymer nanocomposites was measured for a series of temperatures ranging from 40 to 200°K with a Faraday rotation polarimeter. No visual change was observed in the films during thermal cycling, and ~4x improvement was achieved at 40°K. The results are promising and further analysis is merited at 4.2°K to assess the performance of this material for cryogenic magneto-optic modulators for supercomputers. Finally, the dielectric constant and loss tangent of MAPTMS sol-gel films were measured over a wide range of microwave frequencies. The test structures were prepared by spin-coating sol-gel films onto metallized glass substrates. The dielectric properties of the sol-gel were probed with several different sets of coplanar waveguides (CPWs) electroplated onto sol-gel films. The dielectric constant and loss-tangent of these films were determined to be ~3.1 and 3 x 10⁻³ at 35GHz. These results are very promising indicating that sol-gels are viable cladding materials for high-speed electro-optic polymer modulators (>40GHz).

Abstract:

At present modulators in communications industry utilize non-linear materials like indium tin oxide (ITO) and DLD-164 as a dielectric, which makes the fabrication process cumbersome and expensive. This thesis discusses the possibility of using only gold and air as conductor and dielectric to characterize a signal modulating device. Both electro-absorption modulation (EAM) and phase change driven modulation is possible with the design. For the change in phase a length of 2.992 µm for the modulating arm of a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) was achieved for operation at 525 nm. High absorptions of electromagnetic (EM) waves was seen at the 480 nm mark allowing a length of just 4.95 µm for EAM. The results suggest that an all plasmonic noble metal modulator utilizing air as a dielectric is possible for operation in the visible 400 nm to 700 nm range. The concept is supported by proof-of-principle based simulations.

This thesis proposes a novel idea of an all plasmonic modulator driven by changes in free carrier concentration in gold and surface plasmon polariton (SPP) excitations under an applied potential. The prototype model is simulated using a commercial finite difference time domain solver. The simulation enviro nment allows Maxwell’s equations to be solved in the time domain to investigate light propagation and absorption characteristics under an externally applied electric potential. The free carrier concentration dependent permittivity of gold is exploited to investigate possible applications in nano-photonics and optical communications.

Abstract:
The experimental work undertook in this thesis looks to integrate technologies developed by the graphene and plasmonics communities, respectively, for the purpose of producing devices of enhanced qualities to those of similar utility that have previously been produced. Furthermore, where possible, we look to offer disruptive innovation, by utilising coupled properties that may offer unique possibilities for applications. A hybrid graphene-plasmonic waveguide modulator is fabricated and shown to operate successfully at a standard telecommunications frequency. Different plasmonic-waveguide designs — the basis for the modulator — were produced to probe the coupling between graphene and the surface plasmon-polariton modes. A mode excitable at the edge of the waveguide was found to offer the best modulation, with a modulation depth of over 0.03 dB μm^−1, induced by a moderate gating voltage of about 10 V. Topologically-protected darkness (zero reflection) was produced by particular engineering of a plasmonic metamaterial. This allowed generation of a singularity in the ellipsometric phase (a particular parameter of light), allowing for measurements of mass sensitivity of ∼10 fg mm^−2, with the possibility of improving this to ∼100 ag mm^−2. Graphene was employed in a novel metrology tool to measure the sensitivity of this device. With respect to fundamental losses in plasmonics, one could find either a new plasmonic material or look to improve an existing one. Work was undertook with respect to this latter option by attempting to preserve the otherwise excellent plasmonic properties of copper and silver through a protective barrier of graphene. This was achieved and illustrated through ellipsometric measurements taken over various timescales. Fabrication of a dielectric loaded waveguide on graphene-protected copper was then carried out, with operation of the waveguide proving successful, possibly opening the field of active graphene-protected metal plasmonics.

Abstract:
Surface plasmons are collective oscillations of free electrons excited at a metal-dielectric interface by incident light. They possess a broad set of interesting properties including a high degree of tunability, the generation of strong field enhancements close to the metal's surface and high sensitivity to their adjacent dielectric environment. It is possible to enhance the sensitivity of plasmonic systems by using narrow plasmon resonances. In this thesis two approaches to narrowing surface plasmon resonances have been studied: diffraction coupling of localised surface plasmon resonances in gold nanoarrays and the use of graphene-protected copper thin films. Applications of these approaches in hybrid systems have been considered for modulation, waveguiding, biosensing and field enhancements. Arrays of gold nanostripes fabricated on a gold sublayer have been used to create extremely narrow plasmon resonances using diffraction coupling of localised plasmon resonances with quality factors up to a value of $Q \sim 300$, among the highest reported in the literature. The nanostructures were designed to give the narrowest resonance at the telecommunication wavelength of 1.5 µm, allowing for this array geometry to be used in hybrid systems for proof-of-concept optoelectronic devices. The gold nanostripe array was used in a hybrid nanomechanical electro-optical modulator along with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and graphene. The modulator was fabricated with an air gap between the nanoarray and the hexagonal boron nitride/graphene. Applying a gate voltage across the device moves the hBN towards the nanoarray, resulting in broadband modulation effects from the ultraviolet through to the mid-infrared dependant on the motion of the hBN instead of graphene gating. The deposition of a 400 nm hafnium(IV) oxide film on top of the gold nanoarray created a structure capable of guiding modes at 1.5 µm. The hybrid air-dielectric-stripe waveguide is capable of guiding modes over a distance of 250 µm. Copper thin films have stronger plasmon resonances and higher phase sensitivity than gold thin films. Transferring a graphene sheet on the copper prevents oxidation of the copper. A feasibility study of this hybrid system has shown that phase-sensitive graphene-protected copper biosensing can detect HT-2 mycotoxin with over four orders of magnitude greater sensitivity than commercially-available gold-based surface plasmon resonance biosensing systems. In summary, two methods of attaining narrow plasmon resonances have been demonstrated and their promise in modulation, waveguiding and biosensing have been demonstrated.

This thesis details the fabrication of three different plasmon-polariton based devices: a plasmon-polariton Bragg grating (PPBG) biosensor, an intensity modulator incorporating grating couplers, and optically separated electrical contact, and finally an array of nanoholes in an ultrasmooth Au film. The biosensor involves a 35 nm Au stripe, lithographically stepped in width to produce a Bragg reflector. The waveguide is embedded in symmetric, Cytop claddings 8 µm thick. Channels are etched into the top cladding, exposing the waveguides and allowing for the integration of fluidics. The modulator involves a 20 nm Au pad, overlaid with 80 nm Au diffraction gratings, supported by an ultrathin (~3 nm) SiO2 insulator, on a p-doped Silicon wafer backed by an Al Ohmic contact. Electrical contact pads are separated from the waveguide by a thick dielectric (700 nm PMMA), and 2.5 µm vias in-filled with Au allow for electrical connection between the contact pads and waveguides. The nanohole array is machined by focused ion beam into an ultrasmooth Au film revealed by template stripping. The Au film is stacked on a thick film of Cytop between ~5 µm thick.

Full text
Abstract:
Soluble guanylate cyclase is a multidimeric enzyme that regulates cardiovascular homeostasis and is the receptor for nitric oxide in the brain. The enzyme is the known target for a new agonist drug used for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. Whilst drug discovery has been successful for the finding of small molecules that activate the enzyme, the currently available inhibitors lack selectivity as they act through oxidation of a heme prosthetic group in the enzyme, which is conserved amongst other hemeproteins. Nonetheless, it has been suggested that inhibition of soluble guanylate cyclase by small molecules could be useful in the treatment of neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease. In this thesis, new activators of soluble guanylate cyclase have been identified by virtual screening, and a new class of inhibitors has been designed and synthesised. The synthetic routes developed are efficient and take advantage of microwave-assisted organic synthesis. The drug-target interaction was characterised using a biophysical technique based on surface plasmon resonance, which allows the detection of label-free binding between small molecules and biological macromolecules. The biophysical assay has been developed using different constructs of soluble guanylate cyclase and validated through binding of the natural ligands ATP and GTP. The instrument and assay design were validated using the well-defined interaction between natriuretic peptides and the extracellular domain of natriuretic peptide type-C. Additional biochemical characterisation of the ligands allowed discrimination between activators and inhibitors. This combination of biophysical and biochemical techniques allowed the identification of the catalytic domain of soluble guanylate cyclase as the target for binding of the new class of synthesised inhibitors and has given insight into the functional groups necessary for activity and binding to the enzyme.

Abstract:
Abstract Metamaterials are artificially engineered materials, and they exhibit properties not found in naturally occurring materials. This chapter introduces first the left-handed materials with negative refractive index and microwave structures that first exhibited this peculiar property. After discussing some unusual properties of metamaterials, like realization of perfect lens, focus is given to negative refractive index with positive permeability and permittivity. In this regard, chiral metamaterials and infinite or hyperbolic metamaterials with their properties are discussed. Plasmonic metamaterials with low loss are then described. After introducing the subject in general, attention is given to semiconductor metamaterial structures, showing negative permittivity, and having quantum system anisotropy. The concept, structure, and properties of metasurfaces, and their application in THz systems are stated. Some applications like THz modulator, and a solid-state tunable beam steering device in automotive cars are finally discussed.
