Plasmonic crystal waveguides
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the properties of electromagnetic waves propagating along the waveguides with a periodic core created by alternating metal and dielectric layers, the so-called quasi-one-dimensional plasmonic crystal waveguides. Such waveguides can be symmetric or asymmetric, depending on the cladding or substrate material properties, as well as on the termination of the periodic structure. We analyze the dispersion characteristics as well as the profiles of the guided modes for several types of waveguide structure.

Design and Simulation of a Metal-Insulator-Metal Filter Based on Plasmonic Split Ring
In this paper, a plasmonic filter made of a split ring, two U-shaped structures and two straight waveguides is designed and investigated. In the proposed structure, the split ring and U-shaped structures are situated between straight waveguides. Simulations are done based on FDTD method. Split ring, U-shaped structures and straight waveguides are made of air in the silver background. In the pro...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of plasmonic resonant guided wave networks.
Composed of optical waveguides and power-splitting waveguide junctions in a network layout, resonant guided wave networks (RGWNs) split an incident wave into partial waves that resonantly interact within the network. Resonant guided wave networks have been proposed as nanoscale distributed optical networks (Feigenbaum and Atwater, Phys. Rev. Lett. 2010, 104, 147402) that can function as resonat...
متن کاملShaping plasmon beams via the controlled illumination of finite-size plasmonic crystals
Plasmonic crystals provide many passive and active optical functionalities, including enhanced sensing, optical nonlinearities, light extraction from LEDs and coupling to and from subwavelength waveguides. Here we study, both experimentally and numerically, the coherent control of SPP beam excitation in finite size plasmonic crystals under focussed illumination. The correct combination of the i...
متن کاملEnhanced Localized Surface Plasmonic Resonances in Dielectric Photonic Band-Gap Structures: Fabry-Perot Nanocavities & Photonic Crystal Slot Waveguides
We describe approaches to enhance localized surface plasmons by placing metallic nanoparticles into two different structures: (i) Fabry-Perot (F-P) resonant cavities, and (ii) Photonic crystal slot waveguides. Through synchronization of the plasmonic and resonant modes, electric field at the surface of the nanoparticles is enhanced by a factor of 4~20 compared with the nanoparticles in free spa...
