Abstract
Wavenumber matching is crucial to proper designs of optical devices such
as ring-bus waveguides or planar cavities. In particular, the range of
in-plane wavenumbers needs to be adequately determined along the coupling
direction. Oftentimes, numerically
intensive search is necessary for its accurate determination for surface
plasmon resonances in particular nanostructures. In this paper, a method
based on contour integrals is employed in order to provide a rough idea on
the coupling capability of participating optical components. An example is
provided for a semi-infinite metal–dielectric periodic multilayer
bounded by another semi-infinite medium.
