摘要
We designed, fabricated, and characterized novel long-range surface plasmon polariton waveguides based on Bragg gratings (LRSPPW-BGs) via spin coating of a transparent silver ink on nanoimprinted polymeric patterns at low temperature in the absence of a vacuum system. For 20-nm-thick and 8-mu m-wide LRSPPW-BGs of lengths in excess of 500 mu m, the measured reflectances are greater than 90% at a Bragg wavelength of similar to 1532 nm. For a 20-nm-thick, 8-mu m-wide, and 1000-mu m-long LRSPPW-BG, the full width at half maximum of a reflectance is determined to be 1.89 nm. The use of spin-coatable silver ink combined with the nanoimprint technique may represent a viable new route for cost effective and simple fabrication of LRSPPW-BGs.
