We analyze phase matching in metal-dielectric nonlinear structures which support highly localized plasmon polariton modes. We reveal that quadratic phase matching between the plasmon modes of different symmetries becomes possible in planar waveguide geometries. We discuss the example of a nonlinear LiNbO(3) waveguide sandwiched between two silver plates, and demonstrate that second-harmonic gen...

In this paper, the power dissipated through different loss mechanisms including dielectric, conductor and radiation loss is calculated for the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and modified substrate integrated waveguide (MSIW). The applied computational method being appropriate for structures with periodic conducting parts allows one to calculate the integrals corresponding to these powers ...

This paper shows injection molded millimeter-wave horn array antenna for the 1-dimensional APAA(Active Phase Array Antenna). The antenna is composed of horn antennas, grooved circular waveguide polarizers, E-plane T-junctions, and E-plane bends employing dielectric waveguides. This structure makes it possible to manufacture a feed circuit and radiating elements as an integrated unit by using in...

Magic tee is a widely used component in microwave systems; the four arms of a conventional magic tee direct at four different directions, which occupy much space and give inconveniences to the assemblage of a system. In this paper, a waveguide narrow-wall slot directional coupler and an E-plane dielectric loaded waveguide phase shifter are used to make up of a magic tee with four arms in the sa...

Absfract-A new model for the aperture admittance of open-ended waveguide structures radiating into a homogeneous, lossy dielectric is presented. The model is based on the physical and mathematical properties of the driving point admittance of passive, stable one-port networks. The model parameters, which depend upon the geometry of the waveguide and aperture, are determined from a relatively sm...

A numerical transfer matrix method (TMM) is applied to investigate hybrid surface plasmon polaritons (HySPPs) waveguide structure, which consists of a high permittivity dielectric fiber separated from a metal surface with a low permittivity dielectric gap. The results obtained from the TMM agree well with those from the finite element method but with a faster calculation speed. As a demonstrati...

The rectangular dielectric waveguide (RDWG) technique has been developed for the determination of the dielectric constant of materials from effective refractive index measurements in the Q and W bands. This paper describes the use of an optimization method in conjunction with the RDWG technique for the determination of both the dielectric constant and loss tangent of materials at Ka-Band. The e...

We investigate the quantum entanglement between two quantum dots (QDs) in a plasmonic waveguide with a near-zero mode index, considering the dependence of concurrence on interdot distance, QD waveguide frequency detuning, and coupling strength ratio. High concurrence is achieved for a wide range of interdot distances due to the near-zero mode index, which largely relaxes the strict requirement ...

Nanoscale slot waveguides of hyperbolic metamaterials are proposed and demonstrated for achieving large optical field enhancement. The dependence of the enhanced electric field within the air slot on waveguide mode coupling and permittivity tensors of hyperbolic metamaterials is analyzed both numerically and analytically. Optical intensity in the metamaterial slot waveguide can be more than 25 ...
