[14p-C301-4] [JSAP-OSA Joint Symposia 2016 Invited Talk] Surface plasmon mediated high capacity information technology

In this paper, we introduce the recent progress of high capacity optical information storage and high throughput on-chip information processing mediated by surface plasmons. Through the investigation of polarization-sensitive plasmonic resonance in metallic nanorods and the subsequent photothermal reshaping mechanism, information can be multiplexed in the multiple polarization orientations in the same spatial region . It enables optical recording with orders of magnitude increased capacity as well as security. In addition, we show the throughput of information processing by plasmonic nano-structures can be significantly increased. We investigate the guiding modes in plasmonic nano-apertures consisting of nano-groove and enclosed nano-ring slits. It reveals that the overall transmission of the plasmonic nano-apertures is dependent on the angular momentum of the incident light as well as the geometry of the size of the structure. Employing this unique feature, angular momentum multiplexing at the nanoscale by coaxially superimposed or spatially-shifted nano-apertures with variant sizes can be realized . The non-resonant feature associated with the underlying mode matching mechanism enables the operation at a broad bandwidth . Consequently, information multiplexed in three wavelengths and four angular momentum states can be processed in parallel, leading to an enhanced throughput.
