Study of Surface Plasmon Polariton propagation in Plasmonic Waveguides

POSTER

Abstract

Using surface plasmon polariton (SPP) tomography techniques, we study the propagation of SPPs in dielectric-loaded plasmonic waveguides. Surface emission and Fourier plane tomography images were used to characterize SPP propagation and losses in straight and curved, single and multimode waveguides. This study shows the imaging and characterization capabilities of SPP tomography.
