Bimodal Plasmonic Interferometer Based on SU-8 Waveguides

Optica Advanced Photonics Congress, pp. IW4B.3

Abstract

We present the first experimental demonstration of a bi-modal plasmonic interferometer with an extinction ratio (ER) of 4 dB. Theory predicts 6.500 nm/RIU sensitivity and up to 17 dB ER.
