Abstract
We analyze the effect of asymmetric embedding of thin silver layers on the propagation length and the power flow distribution of long-range surface plasmon-polaritons (LRSP). We show that in such configurations LRSP can achieve propagation length which exceeds the value for the symmetric case by up to 3 orders of magnitude.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
