Abstract :
Fundamental characteristics of a light-guiding metal line are revealed and discussed through eigenmode and propagating beam analyses. Numerical results show that the propagation loss for a straight metal line decreases as the width of the line is reduced. The propagation loss of a bent metal line is also calculated.
