Multi-wavelength Switching Using Hybrid Plasmonic Add/drop Multiplexer

Abstract

In this study, the novel device hybrid plasmonic add/drop multiplexer (HPAM) by surface plasmon polariton (SPPs) mechanism is demonstrated. Hybrids plasmonic add/drop multiplexer is used to optical multiwavelength switching networks make potential operator to generate and access of WDM/DWDM network. Methodology, the finite difference time domain (FDTD) techniques is applied by OptiFDTD programming which an experiment based on the characteristic of devices and schematic model design. Consequences, Au coupled provides a SPP mechanism operated on Add/drop ring multiplexer with multiwavelength switching. As a result, four wavelength users were selected 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, and 1um with a various size of SPP ring Au coupled. The high Q factor (28,500), FSR =1.4 THz and FWHM at-3dB = 10 nm. A variety of applications, such as sensors, optical switching, and optical computation can be applied by plasmonic polariton mechanism.
