Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif optique comprenant une structure de guide d'ondes constituée d'une bande (100) composée d'un matériau à densité de porteur de charge libre relativement élevée, entouré d'un matériau à densité de porteur de charge libre relativement faible. La bande possède une largeur (W) et une épaisseur (t) finies, du même ordre que des dimensions telles qu'un rayonnement optique présentant une longueur d'ondes située dans une plage prédéterminée se couple à cette bande, et se propage sur la longueur de cette bande sous forme d'onde plasmon-polariton. De préférence, la largeur et l'épaisseur sont sensiblement égales ou inférieures à environ 300 nanomètres.
