Surface plasmon polariton propagation in metallic channels analized by spatio-temporal FEM model (ST-FEM)

Abstract

The analysis of surface plasmon polariton (SSP) propagation through a long nano-metallic channel by a spatio-temporal finite element model is presented in detail for the first time. Interesting results showing the evolution of the signal's temporal information together with the signal's transverse spatial distribution along the channel's axis will be reported.
