Abstract

This paper investigates the surface plasmon modes (TM_o polarized modes) on a weakly guided optical fiber covered by a thin palladium film, surrounded by air with an hydrogen saturation. The dispersion curves are calculated as a function of fiber radius and film thickness. The attenuation is estimated between 10times10⁴ and 2479.5 nm wavelengths, and the original results obtained are very interesting to understand the plasmon modes behavior of this structure.
