Fiber-Coupled Surface Plasmon Polariton Excitation in Imprinted Dielectric-Loaded Waveguides

Figure 1

(a) A schema showing the layout of a sample with plasmonic waveguides. The waveguides consist of optical waveguides at either end which taper down to a 100 micrometer long plasmonic waveguide only 600 nm wide. (b) SEM image of the DLSPPW section. (c) SEM image of the optical waveguide section.
