Abstract :
We demonstrate that enhanced electro-optical effect in plasmonic microstructures is accompanied by dramatically reduced parasitic scattering of surface waves. Analytical description of relevant physics and implications for creation of high-performance dynamical plasmonic circuits are discussed.
