We study the propagation characteristics of optical signals in waveguides composed of a double chain of metallic nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host. We find that the complex Bloch band diagram for the guided modes, derived by the Mie scattering theory including material losses, exhibits strong differences with respect to the previously studied single chain. The results of the model are validated through the finite element solution of the Maxwell equations.

Abstract

We study the propagation characteristics of optical signals in waveguides composed of a double chain of metallic nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host. We find that the complex Bloch band diagram for the guided modes, derived by the Mie scattering theory including material losses, exhibits strong differences with respect to the previously studied single chain. The results of the model are validated through the finite element solution of the Maxwell equations.
