Abstract

The analysis of surface plasmon polariton (SSP) propagation through a long nano-metallic channel by a spatio-temporal finite element model is presented in detail for the first time. Interesting results showing the evolution of the signal´s temporal information together with the signal´s transverse spatial distribution along the channel´s axis will be reported.
