Title
Guided Modes In Periodical Arrays Of Waveguides
Abstract
Optical waveguides are constituents of various optoelectronic devices. Generally, the interaction between the waveguides brings parasitic impact. However, in several cases the interaction can generate effects useful for applications and simulation of the optical phenomena which have analogues in solid state physics. In particular, these are Anderson localization, Bloch oscillations, Bloch-Zener tunneling etc. we consider a formation of a new kind of guided mode in plane arrays of metallic waveguides. We study arrays made of Ag in order to be able to compare to the results obtained by S. Belan and S. Vergeles, [J. Opt. Soc. Am., 2014]. A dispersion law for optical propagating modes is found for different propagation constant β, which is a wave vector component parallel to the waveguide axes. Note that of Belan and Vergeles the arrays made of Ag are investigated and guided modes for β = 0 are considered. An analysis given below reveals that the waveguide array manifests a new kind of guided mode for β ≠ 0. This mode is occurred to cover a part of the visible spectrum and infrared region for ω u003c β. A behavior of this mode is essentially determined by the propagation constant β.
