Abstract:
A vector integral-differential equation to describe electromagnetic waves propagation in three-dimensional periodic metal-dielectric structures was developed. Exact solution of the equation is obtained with Galerkin method taking into account complex dielectric constant of metals in optical range. A simple method to find out complex propagation constant for low-loss waveguide structures is developed and proved. Surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) waves were simulated for one and two dimensional periodic nanoplasmonic structures containing thin metal layers. In particular two types of nano waveguides such as: a metal strip on dielectric substrate and a dielectric strip on metal-dielectric substrate were investigated, also we studied propagation in three types of photonic crystals. It is shown that there is a possibility of high effective refractive index SPP propagation.
