Abstract
The electro-optic effect in three nanoscale heterostructures, in each of which a thin layer of dielectric or ferroelectric material is inserted between two planar metal electrodes, has been studied. Each structure has one aluminum layer, containing a subwavelength grating with a period of 400 nm, contacting with either the glass substrate or air. The light transmission spectra of structures with subwavelength grating contain characteristic plasmon dips. Short external-voltage pulses affect the change in the refractive index of the corresponding active layer. Significant values of these changes may be useful for designing optical modulators.
