摘要
We demonstrate a low-loss coupling scheme between a silicon photonic waveguide and a hybrid-plasmonic waveguide. Measured coupling efficiencies reach up to 94% or -0.27 dB. The metal-insulator-semiconductor structure is fabrication-tolerant and adaptable to a wide range of materials including those used in CMOS processes. The coupler is a promising building block for low-loss active plasmonic devices. (C) 2019 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement
