Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can be launched with an organic nanowire that serves as both light source and dielectric waveguide in a single organic/metal nanowire heterojunction. Efficient modulation of the output signals from the silver tip can be achieved via the alternation of incident polarizations, which is further used to design and realize prototypical photonic-plasmonic logic devices. These findings are essential for incorporating plasmonic waveguides as practical components into hybrid high-capacity photonic circuits.
表面等离激元（SPPs）可以通过有机纳米线激发，该有机纳米线在单个有机/金属纳米线异质结中既充当光源又充当介电波导。通过交替入射偏振光可以实现对银尖端输出信号的有效调制，进一步用于设计和实现原型光子等离子体逻辑器件。这些发现对于将等离子体波导作为实用组件纳入混合高容量光子电路是至关重要的。
