We start from the simplest, infinite 3-D plamonic waveguide, which is uniform in propagating direction, for investigating the basic characteristics. Then based on those concepts, we introduce some waveguides, such as edge and stripe plasmonicaveguides. We investigate how the size of the edge will affect the confinement and attenuation of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) edge mode. We show three types of SPP modes, including leaky, bound, and edge modes, supported by the stripe waveguide. The limited width of a thin stripe, which can support the bound mode, is analyzed by some approximation, and the results agree with that calculated by the FE-ID-BPM numerical model. Comparison among the modes is discussed. Then, we look into the coupling phenomenon of two single elements. The coupling in-uces symmetry and antisymmetry modes, which can both be numerically obtained using the FE-ID-BPM. Related plasmonic slot and stripe waveguides are studied, and their mode patterns and dispersion diagrams presented. We calculate the effective propagating constant and attenuation for different spacings of the two adjacent stripes. The crosstalk between the coupled stripes is then evaluated.Contents Introduction 1.1 Motivations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . 1.2 Numerical Methods for Waveguide Analysis . .. . . 2.3 Chapter Outline . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4 Formulation and Related Techniques 5.1 Perfectly Matched Layers . . . . . . . . . . . . .5.2 The Finite Element Mode Solver . . . . . . . . . .7.3 The Finite Element Beam Propagation Method . . . .11.4 The Finite-Element Imaginary-Distance Beam Propagation Method .............................................. 15 Analysis of Plamonic Edge Waveguides with Different Shapes 23.1 Introduction of Surface Plasmon Polaritons . . . .23.2 Plasmonic Waveguides: Overview . . . . . . . . . .25.2.1 Characteristics of the Infinite Edge Waveguide .25.2.2 Symmetric Edge Waveguide . . . . . . . . . . . .27.2.3 Square Symmetric Strip Waveguide . . . . . . . .28.3 Modes Supported by the Asymmetric Strip Waveguide 28 Analysis of Coupled Plasmonic Waveguides 62.1 Slot Waveguide: Overview . . . . . . . . . . . . .62.2 Introduction to Coupled Modes of the MIM Heterostructure . . . . ............................. 65.3 Coupled-Stripe Waveguide . . . . . . . . . . . . .68 Conclusion 93ibliography 955071950 bytesapplication/pdfen-US具垂直尖角與側邊之電漿子波導Plasmonic Waveguides with Right-Angled Corners and Edgesthesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/188327/1/ntu-98-R96942082-1.pdf
