Abstract
We have numerically demonstrated that electrically tuneable directional coupling and switching can be realized based on the multimode interference effect in dielectric-loaded graphene plasmon waveguides (DLGPWs) of our own design. The total field profile resulting from a superposition of all guided modes in the multimode dielectric-loaded graphene plasmon waveguide is electrically controllable because the propagation properties of the first three guided modes supported by the DLGPW can be effectively manipulated by electrostatic doping of graphene. The functional size of the device is only several micrometres, which is much smaller than the working wavelength. Such electrically controlled multifunctional devices may find potential applications in high-density integrated active plasmonic circuits.
