Resumé
Plasmonic directional couplers based on channel waveguides embedded in random arrays of metal nanoparticles (NPs) operating in near-infrared are fabricated using electron-beam lithography and investigated experimentally characterizing their performance with leakage-radiation microscopy. The power exchange between coupled waveguides, its spatial period and efficiency, along with the overall power transmission, are determined in the wavelength range from 700 to 800 nm. We introduce a simple coupled-mode approach based on three coupled waveguides. The composite system considers a waveguide consisting of NP-filled stripe with characteristics distinctly different from those of the channel waveguides. Using this model, we describe the performance of investigated composite plasmonic configurations and obtain good qualitative agreement with experimental observations.
