“…A theoretical study of a structure similar to this was published [9]; however, the rectangular crosssection waveguides in [9] requires sub-wavelength feature sizes to support a single mode and therefore is much smaller than the minimum lab-on-a-chip channel sizes. To address this size limitation we have developed a new trapezoidshaped plasmonic waveguide structure (see preliminary results in [10,11]).…”

We present micron-sized single mode trapezoidal plasmonic waveguide structures. We study the guiding mechanism through an effective index method analysis of the waveguide modes and define mode cut-off conditions using simulation, and experimentally demonstrate the plasmonic modes guided by the trapezoidal channel. The silver waveguides have a long 1 mm propagation distance at 1550 nm wavelength.
