Abstract-Adiabatic following of terahertz surface plasmon-polaritons based on tri-layered corrugated thin film coupler
In this paper, we utilize coupled mode theory (CMT) to model the coupling of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) between tri-layered corrugated thin films (CTF) structure coupler in the terahertz region. Employing the stimulated raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) quantum control technique, we propose a novel directional coupler based on SPPs evolution in tri-layered CTF in some curved configuration. Our calculated results show that the SPPs can be completely transferred from the input to the output CTF waveguides, and even we consider SPPs propagation loss, the transfer rate is still above 70%. The performance of our coupler is also robust that it is not sensitive to the geometry of device and wavelength of SPPs. As a result, our device can tolerate defect induced by fabrication and manipulate THz wave at broadband.
