Abstract
A modulator with micron dimensions, capable of optical modulation and switching in an integrated waveguide, is proposed. The proposed modulator uses surface plasmon resonance and an electro-optic polymer to modulate light which is guided in an integrated waveguide. Theoretical analysis of the modulator is presented for wavelengths of light in the visible and near infrared. Design criteria and dimensions of the modulator are discussed
