In this paper, a miniaturized 2 × 2 electro-optic plasmonic Mach–Zehnder switch (MZS) based on metal–polymer–silicon hybrid waveguide is presented. Adiabatic tapers are designed to couple the light between the plasmonic phase shifter, implemented in each of the MZS arms, and the 3-dB input/output directional couplers. For 6 µm-long hybrid plasmonic waveguide supported by JRD1 polymer ($r_{33}$= 390 pm/V), a π-phase shift voltage of 2 V is obtained. The switch is designed for 1550 nm operation wavelength using COMSOL software and characterizes by 2.3 dB insertion loss, 9.9 fJ/bit power consumption, and 640 GHz operation bandwidth

在本文中，提出了一种基于金属-聚合物-硅混合波导的小型化2×2电光等离子体马赫-曾德尔开关（MZS）。绝热锥度设计用于在每个MZS支路中实现的等离子移相器与3dB输入/输出定向耦合器之间耦合光。对于由JRD1聚合物支撑的6 µm长的混合等离子体激元波导（${\mathrm{[R}}_{33}$= 390 pm / V），则获得2 V的π相移电压。该开关使用COMSOL软件设计用于1550 nm的工作波长，具有2.3 dB的插入损耗，9.9 fJ / bit的功耗和640 GHz的工作带宽
