Dispersion and transitions of dipolar plasmon modes in graded plasmonic waveguides
J. J. Xiao, K. Yakubo, K. W. Yu
Abstract
Coupled plasmon modes are studied in graded plasmonic waveguides, which are periodic chains of metallic nanoparticles embedded in a host with gradually varying refractive indices. We identify three types of localized modes called "light", "heavy", and "light-heavy" plasmonic gradons outside the passband, according to various degrees of localization. We also demonstrate new transitions among extended and localized modes when the interparticle separation d is smaller than a critical dc, whereas the three types of localized modes occur for d>dc, with no extended modes. The transitions can be explained with phase diagrams constructed for the lossless metallic systems.
