Abstract
A plasmonic phase modulator is provided. The modulator has a conductive layer, and a dielectric layer disposed on the conductive layer. A plasmonic layer is disposed on the dielectric layer. A plasmonic layer is disposed on the dielectric layer. The plasmonic layer is conductive to surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waves. The plasmonic layer may be, for example, a graphene sheet. A voltage signal source is operatively connected between the conductive layer and the plasmonic layer for modulating a propagation speed of an SPP wave propagating on the plasmonic layer.
