Interface Plasmon Polariton Waveguides and Sensors

This thesis presents a novel micron-sized trapezoidal plasmonic waveguide design, called an Interface Plasmon Polariton waveguide. The guiding mechanism is explained using an effective index method and validated by simulations. The mode cut-off conditions and single-mode guiding properties are both...
