Here it is proposed a three-dimensional plasmonic nonvolatile memory crossbar arrays that can ensure a dual-mode operation in electrical and optical domains. This can be realized through plasmonics that serves as a bridge between photonics and electronics as the metal electrode is part of the waveguide. The proposed arrangement is based on low-loss...

... microprocessors follow the so-called von Neumann architecture where the machine instructions and data are stored in memory and share a central communication channel to a processing unit, thus data are continually moved back and forth between memory and the processor [4] (Fig. 2). This significantly limits the speed and energy efficiency, and the performance mismatch between this two units leads to considerable latency. It was showed that real-time applications such as audio recognition and hand-tracking services consume more than half of the total energy only for moving and storing data without performing any ...

Inelastic quantum mechanical tunneling of electrons across plasmonic tunnel junctions can lead to surface plasmon polariton (SPP) and photon emission. So far, the optical properties of such junctions have been controlled by changing the shape, or the type of the material, of the electrodes, primarily with the aim to improve SPP or photon emission e...
Space-time (ST) wave packets are propagation-invariant pulsed optical beams that travel freely in dielectrics at a tunable group velocity without diffraction or dispersion. Because ST wave packets maintain these characteristics even when only one transverse dimension is considered, they can realize surface-bound waves (e.g., surface plasmon polarit...
Metals are canonical plasmonic media at infrared and optical wavelengths, allowing one to guide and manipulate light at the nanoscale. A special form of optical waveguiding is afforded by highly anisotropic crystals revealing the opposite signs of the dielectric functions along orthogonal directions. These media are classified as hyperbolic and inc...
In this paper, a novel plasmonic all-optical half-subtractor and full-subtractor are designed for optical computing. The structure of plasmonic subtractors consists of a metal–insulator–metal (MIM) waveguide and rectangular ring resonators covered by a graphene layer. Due to the nonlinear optical properties of graphene, the states of the plasmonic...
Efficiently converting incident free-space light into surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and improving the integration of on-chip plasmonic devices in the terahertz regime remain great challenges. Here, a single ultra-compact device is proposed to efficiently couple propagating waves into on-chip terahertz plasmonic waveguides. We first design a hig...
