Abstract
A finite element method (FEM) approach of calculating
a single emitter coupled to plasmonic waveguides has
been developed. The method consists of a 2D model and a 3D
model: (I) In the 2D model, we have calculated the spontaneous
emission decay rate of a single emitter into guided plasmonic
modes by using the translation symmetry of the waveguides; (II)
In the 3D model, we have implemented the FEM calculation to
include the radiation modes and the nonradiative contributions
by solving the wave equation with a harmonic source terms. The
FEM approach is rather flexible, and can handle the plasmonic
waveguides with different geometries, as long as only one guided
plasmonic mode is predominantly excited.
