Abstract
Tunability of optical responses is crucial to the development of optical switch and optical code. The methods of light intensity modulation of changing external voltage, temperature, or hydrogen exposure of devices limit the flexible and realtime control of modulation. Herein, we propose a polarization-modulated nanosystem consisting of Au grating, TiN film, and SiO2 substate. The light reflection intensity is controlled by changing the polarization angles of the incident light. By adjusting the polarization state of incident light from transverse magnetic (TM) polarization state to transverse electric (TE) polarization state, the proposed nanosystem exhibits a plasmonic switch effect with reflection from 14.2% to 86.8%, and obtains a relative modulation depth is 511.3%. The reason of the light intensity modulation is the synergistic effect of the SPPs mode at the interfaces of Au/air and TiN/air excited by TM polarized light. The proposed nanosystem enriches the methods for light intensity modulation, and has potential applications in many fields including optical switch and optical code.
