Notes:
Direct optical coupling to the plasmon modes of a two-dimensional electron gas in a stratified semiconductor system requires an overlaid grating coupler. Plasmons can be excited with wave vectors equal to integer multiples of the grating wave vector, and the periodic screening by the grating splits these into two modes, symmetric and antisymmetric with respect to the grating profile. We present calculations of the dispersions and optical coupling strengths for several orders of both modes in a typical structure, and show that the splitting and coupling strengths of the higher order modes oscillate with varying grating mark fraction. These effects are discussed in terms of the oscillating field strengths and charge density profiles.
