Hybrid plasmonic waveguides
Kulič, Martin ; Gryga, Michal (referee) ; Kvapil, Michal (advisor)
Optical waveguides have been used for information transfer for many years. Their use in modern applications is however severely limited by the diffraction limit. Plasmonic waveguides, on the other hand, offer significant miniaturisation at the cost of large attentuation. Hybrid plasmonic waveguides offer a solution benefitting from both of these approaches, i.e. significant miniaturisation with fairly large propagation lengths. These structures have not been studied enough for their widespread use yet. This thesis focuses on current applications of hybrid waveguides and outlines the analytical a numerical methods of their study. The second part of this thesis is aimed at simulation and optimization of selected geometries with regards to propagation length and mode area. The influence of basic dimensions and material selection is studied. Detailed optimization of these structure allows their widespread use in modern scientific and technological applications.
