Abstract

We classify and discuss all optical guided modes able to propagate in ideal metallic-dielectric structures having the symmetry of a step index fiber. The cases of a metallic core with a dielectric cladding and a dielectric core with a metallic cladding are considered. In each case, the intensity profile of the allowed guided modes is shown. The geometric and frequency dispersion of the effective index of the modes is discussed as a function of the optogeometrical parameters of the fibers
