Abstract
An optical modulator that utilizes Bloch surface plasmon (BSP) effects is disclosed. The BSP optical (BSPO) modulator () includes a permittivity-modulated (P-M) grating () that can be one-dimensional or two-dimensional. Electro-optic (EO) substrates () sandwich the P-M grating. The EO substrates have electrodes () arranged thereon, and a voltage source () connected to the electrodes is used to provide an applied voltage (V) via a modulation voltage signals (SM) that switches the modulator. Index-matching layers () may be used to mitigate adverse reflection effects. The BSPO modulator allows for normally incident input light (I) to be modulated directly without having to generate oblique angles of incidence for the input light in order to excite the surface plasmon.
