Waveguide-plasmon polaritons: strong coupling of photonic and electronic resonances in a metallic photonic crystal slab.

Strong coupling between localized particle plasmons and optical waveguide modes leads to drastic modifications of the transmission of metallic nanowire arrays on dielectric waveguide substrates. The coupling results in the formation of a new quasiparticle, a waveguide-plasmon polariton, with a surpr... View More
