优秀毕业论文 精品参考文献资料 Abstract Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) is an electromagnetic field propagation mode along the metal surface. It has the capacity of controlling light in sub-wavelength scale, and it can also locally enhance the intensity of incident light. Therefore, SPPs provides us an effective way to make full use of the nonlinearity of materials. The nonlinear optical devices using metal-insulator-metal waveguide (MIM) were paid a lot of attention in recent decades because of its simple structure, easy integration and so on. In this thesis, MIM waveguide based on SPPs were used to design and verify a nonlinear all-optical switch. First, MIM waveguide dispersion equations were solved numerically. It is found that the effective refractive index (ERI) of SPPs can be changed by varying the insulator material and the width of waveguide core. When the ERI was modulated periodically, there was a band gap appearing in waveguide transmittance spectrum. A metal Bragg waveguide filter was proposed by changing the width of the waveguide core and the transmittance spectrum apodization was achieved. Second, with the transfer matrix method and the Bloch theorem, it is verified that a defect mode appeared at the middle of transmission spectrum forbidden band when a defect was introduced into the Bragg waveguide. Based on this feature, a Bragg waveguide all-optical switching was designed, and the feasibility was verified.by Finite difference time domain method (FDTD). Three critical all-optical switching performance parameters were discussed, including extinction ratio, the pump light threshold and the response time. Third, the proposed switching has the advantage of easy integration, fast response, etc. However, due to the pump and signal overlap in space it’s not conducive for the subsequent optical path to process the signal light. Therefore, the pump light filtering was studied. The main part of this section is analysis of double-stubs metal waveguide filter through the
