Abstract:
An optical interconnect system has first and second waveguides each with wedge-shaped cross-section at a first end, disposed over an optical modulator. The optical modulator is a surface-plasmon multi quantum well (SP-MQW) modulator, the first waveguide an input waveguide and the second waveguide configured an output waveguide. In embodiments the SP-MQW modulator has multiple semiconductor layers disposed atop a lower metal layer between 10 and 300 nanometers thick and configured such that incident light is reflected at the lower metal layer unless a voltage is applied to the semiconductor layers, when incident light is coupled into a surface plasmon mode in the lower metal layer.

Claim (Index 4):
The optical interconnect system of  claim 3  wherein the lower metal layer comprises at least one of the group consisting of copper (Cu), Titanium (Ti), Gold (Au), Aluminum (Al), Nickel (Ni), and Cobalt (Co).
