Abstract

The invention disclosed an artificial surface plasmon waveguide based on a helical branching structure and relates to a surface plasmon waveguide. The artificial surface plasmon waveguide is provided with metal film transmission lines and a dielectric substrate; the metal film transmission lines are arranged on one side or two sides of the dielectric substrate; a periodic unit structure of the metal film transmission lines is formed by loading artificially-designed helical branches on a rectangular strip structure. The metal film transmission lines are formed by adopting a mode of artificially designing periodic helical branches for loading and are used for guiding microwaves and terahertz artificial surface plasmon; the size is small; a dispersion curve is positioned at the right side of a light conical line, is far away from the light conical line and has certain negative reflection phenomenon; progressive frequency of the dispersion curve is far lower than that of the artificial surface plasmon waveguide; excessively-strong subwavelength scale local field constraining performance can be realized; the artificial surface plasmon waveguide can adopt a flexible substrate, and can be used for conformal transmission of the microwaves and terahertz artificial surface plasmon electromagnetic waves via bending deformation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a surface plasmon waveguide, in particular to an artificial surface plasmon waveguide based on a helical branch structure. Background technique [0002] Surface plasmons (Surface Plasmons, SPs) are collective oscillations of free electrons along the surface of a conductor, that is, density waves of electron gas. The mixture formed by the coupling of SPs and photons in the adjacent medium, that is, polaritons, is called surface plasmon polaritons (Surface Plasmon Polaritons, SPPs). SPPs can propagate along the continuous interface and are highly concentrated on the interface. The field strength is the largest at the interface and decays exponentially on both sides of the interface. It is a kind of surface wave with strong binding. It can overcome the diffraction limit and realize the space confinement of the electromagnetic field at the sub-wavelength level, which has great application value in the fields of miniaturized circui...
