摘要
Waveguides at interfaces with a linearly graded permittivity between a metal and a dielectric are studied. Analytic expressions for the dispersion relations, modes, losses, and cutoff wavelengths are derived and agree well with simulations. The gradation results in anomalous dispersion, a reduction in the energy velocity, and increased field confinement in the metal-dielectric transition region. These effects lead to increased propagation losses, which are sensitive to the spatial extent of the interface gradation. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
