✦ Synopsis

Dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polariton waveguides (DLSPPWs) provide a very efficient means to localize and guide optical signal, which makes them a promising candidate for the construction of highly-integrated photonic circuits. Here, we present full 3D numerical modelling of highly efficient and compact all-optical active DLSPPW components to achieve a fully functioning active photonic circuit.
