Abstract

In this chapter, the basic concept concerning the surface plasmon phenomena is presented. Different types of surface plasmon wave (localized and propagating) are reviewed. Moreover, the thin metallic film surface plasmon waveguide is analyzed in order to show the symmetric and asymmetric modes. Finally, other types of surface plasmon waveguides are discussed to show the trade-off between the confinement of the field profile and the attenuation loss.
