Plasmonics coupling in a twin-core photonic crystal fiber
The plasmonics has twofold influence on the coupler performance. On one hand, absorption in the metal layer is the largest at resonance, which facilitates inter-core coupling and shortens the coupling length. On the other hand, the introduction of metal brings in insertion loss, which limits the ene...

| Summary: | The plasmonics has twofold influence on the coupler performance. On one hand, absorption in the metal layer is the largest at resonance, which facilitates inter-core coupling and shortens the coupling length. On the other hand, the introduction of metal brings in insertion loss, which limits the energy propagation in the waveguide. However, this trade-off can be minimized via proper waveguide design.
