Abstract
An all-optical tunable rainbow-trapping-like effect is realized theoretically in a plasmonic slot waveguide with a chirped nanograting, permeated with organic polymer made of poly(hexafluoropropylene oxide) doped with cholesteryl iodide. Gradually increasing the grating period ensures that the stop band edge of the surface plasmon polariton mode varies with position along the nanograting, which brings about the rainbow-trapping-like effect. The physical mechanism underlying the all-optical tunability of this effect is attributed to the variation in the dispersion relations of the surface plasmon polariton mode caused by the pump laser induced refractive index change of cholesteryl iodide. A shift of up to 17 μm in the trapped position of the surface plasmon polariton mode is achieved under excitation of a 450 mJ cm−2 pump laser.
