摘要
Three-dimensional numerical simulations of open-type surface plasmon polariton gap waveguide (o-SPGW) circuits are performed. The construction of open-type E-plane SPGW circuits is much easier than that of the closed-type SPGW circuits proposed previously. E-plane nanometric optical circuits consisting of straight, branched and bent o-SPGWs are studied in this work, and simulation results demonstrate that optical circuits using o-SPGWs provide effective guiding, branching and bending functions in nanometric devices.
