Abstract

The invention discloses a single particle surface plasmon electrooptical modulator and a manufacturing method thereof. The electrooptical modulator realizes active modulation on scattering light intensity in a visible band. The electrooptical modulator comprises a bottom electrode, a conductive substrate, an insulating layer, and a monolayer transition metal chalcogenide. The monolayer transitionmetal chalcogenide has a metal nano structure and a top electrode which are far away from each other. The bottom electrode and the top electrode are connected with external modulating voltage, to forman anode and a cathode of the electrooptical modulator. The anode and the cathode are isolated by an insulating layer, to form a plate capacitor structure. When the external modulating voltage is applied, Fermi level of the transition metal chalcogenide moves to change optical properties of the transition metal chalcogenide, and coupling strength of the transition metal chalcogenide and the metalnano structure changes therewith, so that modulation on a scattered optical field is realized. The electrooptical modulator is the first electrooptical modulator which realizes optical field modulation on a nanoscale, and the electrooptical modulator operates in a visible band, and is characterized by high stability and fast response speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a novel electro-optic modulator, in particular to a single-particle surface plasmon electro-optic modulator based on a transition metal chalcogenide, which can realize electrical modulation of optical signals on a nanometer scale. Background technique [0002] In the field of nanotechnology, the most important thing to realize high-speed optoelectronic devices is to realize the regulation of light in the integrated circuit on chip. Traditional electro-optic modulation devices are all on the order of microns, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of devices and the improvement of speed. Therefore, the realization of nanoscale electro-optic modulators has become an urgent problem to be solved. [0003] In recent years, transition metal chalcogenides represented by molybdenum disulfide and tungsten disulfide have shown various electronic properties. Compared with traditional three-dimensional optical materials, two-dimen...
