Low-loss plasmonic hybrid optical ridge waveguide on silicon-on-insulator substrate

Low-loss plasmonic hybrid optical ridge waveguide on silicon-on-insulator substrate: "Xiaoliu Zuo, Zhijun Sun
To achieve low loss and complete confinement of light, we propose and study a plasmonic hybrid optical waveguide fabricated on an silicon-on-insulator substrate. Using controlled oxidation and etching processes, a deep submicrometer Si core is fabricated based on UV photolithography patterning. The ... [Opt. Lett. 36, 2946-2948 (2011)]"
