Abstract :
Highly-efficient double-slot hybrid plasmonic cavity is demonstrated. By measuring phase change with different liquids, we show that this sub-wavelength structure has better modulation efficiency than Si-based one for applications in ultra-compact highly-efficient sensors and modulators.
