abstract:
We propose optical switches based on long-range plasmonic directional couplers, which are controlled via the electro-optic effect of nematic liquid crystal layers. Both horizontal and vertical configurations are discussed, providing a comparison in terms of key-performance characteristics, such as coupling length, switching voltage, insertion losses, and crosstalk.
