This thesis presents innovative contributions to the study of metal-dielectricmetal (MDM) integrated optical circuits with surface plasmon polaritons, using the transmission lines analogy for microwaves, the transfer matrix theory and the even-odd method. In the last chapter, I studied a plasmonic pulse to see how its shape changes when passing through waveguides with a variable number of periodic cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
