Abstract

By using analytical method, this paper depicts long-range surface plasmon-enabled electro-optically adjustable switching action by Goos–Hänchen shift for an alterable index of refraction of dielectric layer in Kretschmann–Reather geometry which is developed by a BK7 prism, 5000 nm liquid crystal layer which may be considered as dielectric. This layer is sandwiched between 50 and 200 nm thin two gold layers. Here the phase difference varies from positive to negative with the incident angle of the fundamental light beam. This action can be achieved because of varying index of refraction of the dielectric layer with the applied external potential difference. In this scheme, Goos–Hänchen shift also plays a vital role for optical switching.
