Horizontal-Slot Plasmonic-Organic Hybrid (POH) Modulator

We demonstrate horizontal-slot plasmonic-organic hybrid (HS-POH) modulators and show that the π-voltage-loss product aU π L is by 25 % better than for conventional vertical-slot devices. The slot is realized by a sacrificial layer, thereby relaxing extreme lithography-resolution requirements.
