摘要

Optical switches are vital for photonic integrated circuits (PICs), and their performance can be enhanced with plasmonic materials. This paper introduces a compact design leveraging plasmonics for a high on-off switching ratio. The design utilizes plasmonic material indium-tin-oxide (ITO) and graphene, achieving 52.17 dB/ \(\upmu \) μ m extinction ratio (ER) for a 500-nm long device, corresponding to the on-off switching ratio. The device also exhibits an energy consumption per bit (Ebit) of 0.492 fJ/bit and a modulation speed of 6.02 THz. Furthermore, the 2- \(\upmu \) μ m long device showed a modulation speed of 5.15 THz and an ER of 50.59 dB/ \(\upmu \) μ m. These devices show great promise for application in next-generation PIC technologies.
