Nonlinear long-range plasmonic waveguides
Abstract
We report on plasmonic waveguides made of a thin metal stripe surrounded on one or
both sides by a Kerr nonlinear medium. Using an iterative numerical method, we investigate
the stationary long-range plasmons that exist for self-focusing and self-defocusing
Kerr-type nonlinearities. The solutions are similar to the well-known case of infinitely
wide nonlinear waveguides-they are strongly power-dependent and can experience symmetry-breaking
bifurcations under appropriate conditions. © 2010 The American Physical Society.
