Abstract :
Summary from only given. For coupling devices with conventional external construction which require a nanometer scale waveguide for far/near-field conversion we propose a plasmon waveguide. The main part consists of a Si wedge and a metal core waveguide. Incoming light is first transformed into the two-dimensional (2D) surface plasmon (SP) mode on the F1 side.
