Photonic and plasmonic hybrid nanostructures are the key solution for integratednanophotonic circuits with ultracompact size but relative low loss. However,the poor tunability and modulability of conventional waveguides makesthem cumbersome for optical multiplexing. Here we make use of twodimensionalmolecular crystal, α-Sb_(2)O_(3) as a dielectric waveguide via totalinternal reflection, which shows polarization-sensitive modulation of the propagatingbeams due to its large polarization mode dispersion. Both experimentsand simulations are performed to verify such concept. These Sb_(2)O_(3) nanoflakescan be coupled with plasmonic nanowires to form nanophotonic beam splittersand routers which can be easily modulated by changing the polarization of theincidence. It thus provides a robust, exploitable and tunable platform for onchipnanophotonics.
