Disclosed is a metal waveguide device, and nano plasmonic integrated
circuits and an optical integrated circuit module using the same. The
nano plasmonic integrated circuit module includes an input coupling unit,
an input focusing unit, a surface plasmon polariton waveguide for guiding
surface plasmon polaritons, a signal sensing/processing unit, an output
defocusing unit, and an output coupling unit for converting surface
plasmon polariton signals into optical signals. The optical integrated
circuit module includes the nano plasmonic integrated circuit module,
thus realizing highly integrated photonic circuits having a micro
structure, low power consumption and low price.
