Abstract :
Metal-gap waveguides, where dielectric cores are surrounded by metallic claddings, attract renewed interests thanks to their unique characteristics both in surface plasmon resonance and in low-dimensional wave propagation. Here presented are new findings from analyzing cylindrical wave propagation through the core consisting of multiple layers with stepped index or a single layer with graded index.
