In this paper, two kinds of modified surface plasmonic
waveguides formed by nanometric parallel lines are proposed. The
finite-difference frequency-domain method is used to study
propagation properties of the fundamental mode supported by these
surface plasmonic waveguide structures. Results show that the
transverse magnetic field of the fundamental mode is mainly
distributed in the face to face region formed by two rods. With the
same geometrical parameters and the same working wavelength of
632.8~nm, in the case of rods with a triangular cross-section, the
degree of localization of field is strong, i.e. the mode area is
small, but the fraction of the modal power in the metal increases,
so the effective index increases and the propagation length of the
mode decreases. With the same geometrical parameters, relative to
the case of a working wavelength of 632.8~nm, when working wavelength
is large, the mode area of transverse magnetic field distribution is
large, i.e. the degree of localization of field is weak, and the
interaction of field and silver is weak too, then the effective
index decreases, so the propagation length increases. The rounded
radii of rods have a great influence on the performance of the surface
plasmonic waveguides with rounded triangular cross-sections, but have
little influence on the performance of surface plasmonic waveguides
with rounded square cross-sections. Since the distribution of
transverse magnetic field, effective index, propagation length and
the mode area can be adjusted by the geometrical parameters, this
kind of modified surface plasmonic waveguide can be applied to the
field of photonic device integration and sensors.
