Abstract

In this paper, we developed and presented a design result for optimizing the geometry of Ag circular SPP waveguide for subwavelength waveguide applications. We investigated the effect of the design parameters on the light propagation and find the optimum design for small modal size, high coupling coefficient, and low sensitivity. The results show that the globally optimal design locates optimal waveguide geometries more efficiently than individual optimal points for multivalued objective function.
