ABSTRACT:
A metal waveguide is coupled to a dielectric waveguide to obtain transmission of light in a plasmon mode along an edge of the metal waveguide. Efficient, broadband light transmission is obtained, achieving a low insertion loss, using standard processing tools. An efficient integrated optical circuit is obtained.
