Optical plasmon-wave attenuator and modulator structures for controlling the amount of coupling between an guided optical signal and a surface plasmon wave. Optical power coupled to the plasmon wave mode is dissipated in varying amounts producing an intensity modulation effect on the optical signal. For electrical modulation, an additional dielectric (or polymer) layer with variable refractive index in optical contact with a metal layer supporting at least one plasmon wave mode is used to perturb or vary the propagation constant of plasmon wave. Propagation constant variation results in the power coupling variation between the surface plasmon wave and the optical wave. The refractive index variation of the dielectric (or polymer) layer can be accomplished via an electro-optic traveling-wave, a lump-element, or any other integrated optics modulator configuration situated to affect the layer, thereby permitting data rates into tens of GHz. Because of the extremely small interaction lengths needed, the optical plasmon-wave modulator is a very compact device which can be implemented on the top of a fiber or as an integrated optical planar structure.

A robust multichannel SPR instrument with exceptionally high sensitivity (<pg/mm²). The instrument utilizes an SPR detection scheme providing multiple reflections from a planar light guide configuration to amplify the reflected light intensity changes near the resonance angle. This SPR approach is amenable to simultaneous multichannel detection while maintaining high sensitivity with a simple, cost-effective design. The idea of using multiple reflections to excite multiple surface plasmon waves seems counterintuitive at first because the SPR resonance will be broadened; the broadened resonance will diminish sensitivity for angle or wavelength detection modes. However, changes in reflected light intensity near the resonance angle will be amplified by the multiple reflections, thereby increasing the sensitivity of SPR utilizing intensity detection at a fixed angle of incidence.

Disclosed in the invention is a surface plasmon waveguide comprising a metal substrate and at least two metal walls. The at least two metal walls arranged on the substrate are parallel to each other. A groove is formed between the metal walls, so that the surface plasmon can be transmitted at the metal substrate surface at the bottom of the groove along the extending direction of the groove. According to the invention, because of the metal walls at the surface of the metal substrate, an electromagnetic filed with transverse locality can be formed in the groove between the metal walls from the metal wall to the metal wall, thereby limiting transmission of the surface plasmon to the outside of the metal walls. Therefore, the surface plasmon only can be transmitted along the interfaces of the metal substrate and the dielectric layer between the two metal walls at the direction parallel to the metal walls. Because the metal walls play a good role in limiting the surface plasmon in the waveguides, the crosstalk between waveguides can be avoided even though the interval between the two waveguides is small. With the surface plasmon waveguide, small-radius large-angle turning transmission of the surface plasmon as well as application to an optical beam splitter can be realized.

The embedded curved polarization maintaining optical fiber and the tunable surface plasmon coupler form a resonant cavity; and the tunable surface plasmon coupler is a surface plasmon waveguide coupler. The first embedded polarization maintaining optical fiber, the second embedded polarization maintaining optical fiber, and the embedded curved polarization maintaining optical fiber are embedded in the peripheral layer of the tunable surface plasmon coupler and butt-jointed with the tunable surface plasmon coupler. The polarization maintaining optical fibers and the tunable surface plasmon coupler are integrated in a same chip, and the whole solid state of chip is realized, so the resonant cavity is more stable compared with conventional resonant cavity of fiber-optic gyroscope, and polarization noise is eliminated.

The invention provides a method for improving extraction efficiency of an organic electroluminescent (EL) device.

Introduce the energy of light emitting exciton to the tunnel, and then release the energy in the tunnel through micro-nano structure of the device, thus avoiding light energy waste caused by consumption of light energy resulted from useless waveguide mode and other modes and improving the extraction efficiency of the device. The invention also provides an organic EL device working according to the principle. Transmission of various colors of lights from blue to red can be realized by adjusting parameters of the device, thus replacing the practice of arranging a color filter in front of a white light source in traditional organic EL display technology.

An apparatus and a method for measuring gap width, displacement shift or relative position between two subjects using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) are disclosed. First, a TM mode light beam is provided, so as to generate SPR on a surface of one of the two subjects. Then, the signal of the reflective light or penetrative light on the surface is measured. Because SPR is sensitive to the changes of the gap, displacement shift or relative position when the width of the gap is equal to or smaller than twice the penetration length of the surface plasmon wave, the gap, displacement shift and relative position can be acquired by sensing changes of the signal. Accordingly, the width of the gap, displacement shift, relative position and surface roughness smaller than twice the penetration length or even less than 10 nm can be measured.
