Long-range surface plasmon polaritons (LRSPPs) are optical surface waves that propagate
along a thin symmetric metal slab or stripe over an appreciable length (centimeters) …

This paper reviews the fundamentals of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) excitations
sustained by interfaces between metallic and insulating media, with a focus on applications …

Considered one of the major fields of photonics of the beginning 21 st century, plasmonics
offers the potential to confine and guide light below the diffraction limit and promises a new …

The development of chip-scale electronics and photonics has led to remarkable data
processing and transport capabilities that permeate almost every facet of our lives …

We report on subwavelength plasmon-polariton guiding by triangular metal wedges at
telecom wavelengths. A high-quality fabrication procedure for making gold wedge …

Effective-index approach is applied for modeling of channel plasmon polaritons (CPPs)
propagating in rectangular grooves (trenches) and triangular (V-shaped) grooves in gold …

When a light wave strikes a metal film it can, under appropriate conditions, excite a surface
plasmon polariton (SPP)—a surface electromagnetic wave that is coupled to the free …

A theoretical study of the optical properties of metallic nano-strip antennas is presented.
Such strips exhibit retardation-based resonances resulting from the constructive interference …

Infrared surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are concentrated in a laterally tapered planar Ag
waveguide. The near field of SPPs excited with 1490 nm light at a Ag− sapphire interface is …

We present a robust iterative technique for solving complex transcendental dispersion
equations routinely encountered in integrated optics. Our method especially befits the …
