This dissertation describes an attempt to develop, including material processing, a zero-gap directional coupler using the AlGaN material system in an n-i-n configuration that was grown by MBE. This work compiles the optical and electro-optical properties and models the behavior…

Surface plasmon-polaritons are optical surface waves formed through the interaction of photons with free electrons at the surface of metals. They offer interesting applications in a broad range of scientific fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and material science. Howev…
