Electrically-driven subwavelength optical nanocircuits

摘要：

　　We realized electrically-driven subwavelength optical nanocircuits integrating gap plasmon emitting nano-LEDs and deep-subwavelength slot waveguides with a cross-sectional area of~0.016λ2 for the first time.The Purcell enhancement within the extremely small,metal-clad active region of the nano-LED enables to extract gap plasmons propagating along the low-loss slot waveguide efficiently and route them to the nanocircuit elements,such as bends,T-splitters,freespace couplers and directional couplers.The electrically-driven optical nanocircuits will provide a meaningful step for interfacing high-speed photonic devices and ultra-compact electronic components and thus solving the interconnect problem.
