On-chip low-loss all-optical MoSe modulator
Mohammed Alaloul, Jacob B Khurgin, Ibrahim Al-Ani +4
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), like MoS, MoSe, WS, and WSe, feature direct bandgaps, strong spin-orbit coupling, and exciton-polariton interact…
Landau damping in hybrid plasmonics
Alexander V. Uskov, Jacob B. Khurgin, Igor V. Smetanin +2
Landau Damping (LD) mechanism of the Localized Surface Plasmon (LSP) decay is studied for the hybrid nanoplasmonic (metal core/dielectric shell) structures. It is shown that LD in…
Expanding photonic palette: exploring high index materials
Jacob B Khurgin
While the photonic community is being occupied with exotic concepts portending a grand future and fame if not a fortune, I respectfully entertain the possibility that a humble conc…
Hyperbolic Metamaterials and Coupled Surface Plasmon Polaritons: comparative analysis
Tengfei Li, Jacob B. Khurgin
We investigate the optical properties of sub-wavelength layered metal/dielectric structures, also known as hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs), using exact analytical Kronig Penney (KP…
Prospects and merits of metal-clad semiconductor lasers from nearly UV to far IR
Jacob B. Khurgin
Using metal-clad (or plasmonic) waveguide structures in semiconductor lasers carries a promise of reduced size, threshold, and power consumption. This promise is put to a rigorous…
How to face the loss in plasmonics and metamaterials
Jacob B. Khurgin
Metal losses affect the performance of every plasmonic or metamaterial structure; dealing with them will determine the degree to which these structures will find practical applicat…
