Subwavelength diffraction management.
We study light propagation in nanoscale periodic structures composed of dielectric and metal in the visible range. We demonstrate that diffraction can be tailored both in magnitude and in sign by varying the geometric features of the waveguides. Diffraction management on a subwavelength scale is demonstrated by numerical solution of Maxwell equations in the frequency domain.
متن کاملProperties of three-dimensional plasmonic slot waveguides
We investigate the properties of the modes supported by three-dimensional subwavelength plasmonic slot waveguides. We show that the fundamental mode supported by a symmetric plasmonic slot waveguide, composed of a subwavelength slot in a thin metallic film embedded in an infinite homogeneous dielectric, is always a bound mode. Its modal fields are highly confined over a wavelength range extendi...
متن کاملDielectric-gap-metal waveguides for THz low-loss propagating wave with subwavelength mode width
For a good THz waveguide, both low propagating loss and small mode width are usually very important. However, the high ohmic loss of metals and the high absorption loss of dielectric materials result in that it still remains a challenge to obtain the two capabilities at the same time. In this paper, planar dielectric-gap-metal (DGM) waveguides are presented to guide THz wave. According to the d...
متن کاملLarge enhancement of second-harmonic generation in subwavelength metal-dielectric-metal plasmonic waveguides
Plasmonic waveguides have shown the potential to guide subwavelength optical modes, the so called surface plasmon polaritons, at metal-dielectric interfaces. In particular, a metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) structure supports a subwavelength propagating mode at a wavelength range extending from DC to visible. Thus, such a waveguide could be important in providing an interface between conventional ...
متن کاملMetal-dielectric-metal plasmonic waveguide devices for manipulating light at the nanoscale
We review some of the recent advances in the development of subwavelength plasmonic devices for manipulating light at the nanoscale, drawing examples from our own work in metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) plasmonic waveguide devices. We introduce bends, splitters, and mode converters for MDM waveguides with no additional loss. We also demonstrate that optical gain provides a mechanism for on/off swi...
