In physics, polaritons /pəˈlærɪtɒnz, poʊ-/ are quasiparticles resulting from strong coupling of electromagnetic waves with an electric or magnetic dipole-carrying excitation. They are an expression of the common quantum phenomenon known as level repulsion, also known as the avoided crossing principle. Polaritons describe the crossing of the dispersion of light with any interacting resonance. To this extent polaritons can also be thought as the new normal modes of a given material or structure arising from the strong coupling of the bare modes, which are the photon and the dipolar oscillation. The polariton is a bosonic quasiparticle, and should not be confused with the polaron (a fermionic one), which is an electron plus an attached phonon cloud.

The width and thickness of the strip are dimensioned such that optical radiation having a wavelength in a predetermined range couples to the strip and propagates along its length as a plasmon-polariton wave. The device includes a waveguide heater for passing a current through the strip to heat it and the surrounding material, so as to vary propagation of the optical radiation, or means for monitoring propagation of the optical radiation to determine a change in temperature of the strip. Some embodiments provide both heating of the strip and monitoring of its temperature.

Waveguides for ultra-long range surface plasmon-polariton propagation
The disclosure relates to surface plasmon-polariton waveguides, which can guide ultra-long range surface plasmon-polariton waves. The attenuation of an ultra-long range surface plasmon-polariton waves is much lower than the attenuation of the conventional long range surface plasmon-polariton waves guided with the same kind of metal film or metal strip at the same plasmon-polariton frequency. An exemplary ultra-long range surface plasmon-polariton waveguide disclosed in this disclosure comprises a metal layer, such as a metal film or finite width metal strip, intermediate dielectric layers adjacent to the metal layer, and outer cladding dielectric material. The intermediate dielectric layers redistribute the electromagnetic energy distribution of the surface plasmon-polariton waves so that less of the energy propagates in the metal layer. Therefore, the attenuation of the surface plasmon-polariton wave is reduced. The propagation distance of the ultra-long range surface plasmon-polariton wave can be designed to a desired value by adjusting the thickness and the material property of the intermediate dielectric layers and other parameters related to the waveguide.

The invention discloses a submicron surface plasmon polariton beam splitter based on a composite cavity structure. The surface plasmon polariton beam splitter comprises a metal thin film. A nanometer suture which can penetrate through an upper surface and a lower surface of the metal thin film are arranged on the metal thin film. A nanometer groove is formed on one side of the nanometer suture to form an asymmetric nanometer monolete suture. A metal-medium-metal metal injection molding (MIM) vertical cavity is integrated below the nanometer groove. On an operating wavelength of the beam splitter, a function point (FP) resonant cavity and the MIM vertical cavity are used for nearly manipulating surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) independently, wherein the FP resonant cavity is formed in the upper half portion of the asymmetric nanometer monolete suture and the MIM vertical cavity is integrated in the FP resonant cavity. Therefore, the submicron surface plasmon polariton beam splitter based on the composite cavity structure has the advantages that SPPs beam splitting can be achieved. The greater advantage is that beam splitting wavelength can be allowed and convenient to adjust. Meanwhile, transverse size can not be increased, and the integrated height can be increased. In a high integration density plasmon polariton return circuit, the submicron surface plasmon polariton beam splitter based on the composite cavity structure has a potential application. The submicron surface plasmon polariton beam splitter based on the composite cavity structure is simple in structure, good in beam splitting performance, high in extinction ratio and capable of providing a design thought for other surface plasmon polariton function components.
