Description

We demonstrate that approximately 100% transmission of a strongly localized channel plasmon-polariton can be achieved through a sharp 90 degree bend in a sub-wavelength waveguide in the form of a triangular groove on a metal surface – the feature that has previously been demonstrated only for photonic crystal waveguides which do not provide sub-wavelength localization. Conditions for minimum reflection and radiative losses at the bend are investigated numerically using the finite-difference time-domain algorithm. Dissipation in the structure is demonstrated to be sufficiently low to ensure significant propagation distances (a number of wavelengths) of the localized plasmon in each of the arms of the bend.

169 citations in Scopus
156 citations in Web of Science®
Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
