Abstract(in English) We proposed a III-V based electro-absorption plasmon modulator to construct fully monolithic plasmonic-integrated-circuits. Our device consists of a GaInAsP/InP gap-surface-plasmon-polariton waveguide with the TiO_2/ITO layers on both sides of the GaInAsP core. The intensity of transmitted light can be modulated by controlling the carrier concentration of the ITO layer. A positive gate voltage induces electron accumulation in the ITO layer (this is similar to the operation of FinFETs). The extinction ratio of 4.5dB/μm under a gate voltage swing of 0-5 V, and the insertion loss of 1.5dB/μm at non-bias condition were obtained. The figure of merit (ratio of extinction ratio to transmission loss) is 3-a result much superior to conventional Si-based plasmonic optical modulators.
