Abstract

This research explores a new plasmonic multiplexer built with tiny ring-shaped waveguides made of insulator-metal-insulator IMI layers, and implemented using Finite Element Method FEM in a 2D format. Performance evaluation criteria included transmission, modulation depth, extension ratio, and insertion loss. Constructed with silver and oxide zinc materials, proposed design operates by precisely guiding light waves to either negate each other through destructive interference or enhance each other through constructive interference. At 1550 nm wavelength, the device can achieve a transmission threshold of 0.5 in a compact design, with features like transmission exceeding 240%, high Extension Ratio, small footprint, and significant modulation depth. This technology could be a key component in creating ultra-miniaturized circuits that use light instead of electricity, paving the way for even faster computers
