Abstract :
This paper presents the investigations of wave propagation characteristics of silver (Ag) nanowire used for electromagnetic (EM) waveguiding. The wave propagation is simulated by the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and incorporates the Drude model. A number of nano-scale structures are studied, and the simulation results illustrate that these structures guide the optical signal to the desired positions and hence may be used for future nanophotonics applications.
