We numerically investigate the characteristics of the defect mode and the nonlinear effect of optical bistability in metal-insulator-metal (MIM) plasmonic Bragg grating waveguides with Kerr nonlinear defects. By means of finite-difference time-domain simulations, we find that the defect mode peak exhibits a blueshift and height-rise by enlarging the width of the defect layer, and it has a redshift and height-fall with the increase of the dielectric constant of defect layer. Obvious optical bistability is obtained in our waveguides with a length of less than 2 mu m. The results show that our structure could be applied to the design of all-optical switching in highly integrated optical circuits. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
