plasmonic slot waveguides are analyzed, characterized, and fabricated. This novel coupling
scheme is fabricated using silicon on insulator platform. An orthogonal junction configuration
is designed to provide non-resonate wideband coupling from a 400 nm silicon waveguide to
50-nm wide air-filled plasmonic slot. The 1 μm wide full-width half-max coupling spectrum
can theoretically reach high peak of 70% coupling to the plasmonic slot centered around the …
