We have worked out the guided mode spectrum of several cylindrical multilayer structures as dielectric/metal/dielectric, dielectric/dielectric and dielectric/dielectric/metal/dielectric. The third structure can be regarded as the combination of the first and second, and its mode spectrum as the coupling between the modes of the other two. The properties of the mode spectrum of the final structure can be used to design wavelength filters and sensor applications.
