Plasmonic Devices for Novel Materials
Electro-optic (EO) modulators are devices capable of encoding information on top of an optical carrier by means of an electrical signal. They are the heart of optical links, and consequently they represent the backbone behind the exponential increase of data traffic experienced in recent years. Novel electro-optic materials have the potential to achieve unprecedent efficient modulation and integrating them into plasmonic devices would unlock the smallest, fastest and most energy efficient modulators for the next generation of optical links in datacenters. However, integrating these novel EO materials into standard device architectures imposes multiple challenges. In this thesis you will design and test new plasmonic device architectures to characterize and leverage novel EO materials for the next generation of datacenter links.
