Abstract
A possibility of light energy transfer between coupled plasmon waveguide channels is considered. These channels are formed on the basis of a metal-dielectric-metal structure in which the dielectric gap has two closely located minima along the thickness. Dependences of the light energy pumping speed on the minimum gap thickness and distance between channels are found.
