Abstract :
The requirement of in-plane detection is crucial for large scale plasmonic technology. Metal-semiconductor-metal photodiodes can be used as ultrafast detectors in plasmonic integrated circuits. In this paper we show numerical simulations of the MSM photodiode coupled to a plasmonic waveguide.
