Abstract
A metallic-grating-based interconnection scheme that interconnects two
waveguide layers of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) is presented. We
designed a diffraction grating for radiating light from the SPPs into free
space or a homogeneous medium. An efficient receiver grating for receiving
the light into SPPs is also explored. Using the well-established
finite-element method, the appropriate grating geometry parameters are
found. The directional interconnection efficiency is 32.4% for the best case
in our numerical analysis.
