Abstract :
This paper reports the research on surface plasmon polariton (SPP) based photonic integrated devices. We realized SPP waveguides with very low transmission loss of 0.67dB/mm. By developing a kind of hybrid coupler structure consisted by a SPP waveguide and a dielectric waveguide, a high performance TM/TE polarization splitter was realized with pure TM mode output, and an integrated sensor was demonstrated with rather high sensitivity and the ability for ultra-thin layer sensing.
