Fig. 2. Simulated optical mode profiles for (a) the plasmonic slot waveguide with Np=Nb=1×1020 cm−3 and (b) the plasmonic slot waveguide with ITO at ENZ when Np=7.5×1020 cm−3. The inset shows the enlarged region with the ENZ ITO layer. Top view of optical field distributions at (c) the ON state (accumulation layer Nb=Np=1×1020 cm−3) and (d) the OFF state (accumulation layer Np=7.5×1020 cm−3). The optical field profile is plotted in log scale. (e) The propagation loss of the plasmonic slot waveguide at different peak carrier concentrations. (f) Transmission at the ON state and OFF state and the extinction ratio as a function of the optical wavelength.
