[WE2-1] Plasmonics for Communications
Tutorial
Plasmonics is incresingly seen as an alternative to phontonics. The technology promisses fast speed, ultra-compact footprin and lowest power consumption across a large spectral bandwidth. In this tutorial we discuss the fundamentals of plasmonics and then review plasmonic device concepts. Among the devices discussed in this tutorial we will review latest progresss related to electro-optical modulators, photodetectors and millimeter wave plasmonic devices. Some highlights are the latest atto-Joule operation 100 GHz bandwidth modulators or the latest 100 GHz plasmonic detectors with 0.5 A/W responsivities.
Bio:Juerg Leuthold is the head of the Institute of Electromagnetic Fields (IEF) at ETH Zurich, Switzerland since 2013. His interest are in the field of Photonics, Plasmonics and Microwave with an emphasis on applications in communications and sensing. In the time from 2004 until 2013 he was affiliated with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany, where he was the Head of the Institute of Photonics and Quantum Electronics (IPQ) and the Helmholtz Institute of Microtechnology (IMT). From 1999 to 2004, he was affiliated with Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies, Holmdel, NJ, USA, where he performed device and system research with III/V semiconductor and silicon optical bench materials for applications in high-speed tele¬communications. Juerg Leuthold received the Ph.D. degree in physics from ETH Zurich in Switzerland for work in the field of integrated optics and all-optical communications in 1998.
Juerg Leuthold is a fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA), a fellow of the IEEE and a member of the Heidelberg Academy of Science. He served the community as member of the Helmholtz Association Think Tank, as a member of the board of directors of OSA and in many technical program committees or as the general chair of meetings
