Abstract :
We demonstrate integration of plasmonic structures with Ge PIN-diodes. We present results on transmission line structures where SPPs are excited optically by means of a grating, coupled into a metal-insulator-metal slot waveguide structure and guided towards the active region of a Ge PIN-diode for electrical detection.
