Paper Abstract
An analytical model to the modal characteristics of Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) plasmonic waveguide is
proposed. An expression to the propagation constant and losses as function in the refractive index, the
waveguide width, and the wavelength is obtained and verified using finite difference based mode-solver. These
expressions are used to develop a theoretical model to the behavior of a plasmonic nano-filter based MIM
configuration. The proposed model shows a good agreement with FDTD simulations. Using this model, the
sensitivity of the filter to different design parameters is investigated and analyzed analytically. Therefore, the
optimum values of different design parameters can be obtained analytically. By using this theoretical model, a
sharp resonance filter with narrow bandwidth, compact size, low loss, and good sensing characteristics can be
demonstrated. The proposed filter can be used in different applications such as, biological sensing and
communication systems.
