Abstract :
An InxGa1-xAs thin-film inverted metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector has been integrated with a gold hybrid long-range surface plasmon waveguide on silicon. This integrated structure enables planar integrated optical detection of a long-range surface plasmon wave at a wavelength of 1.55 μm.
