Abstract

Different types of plasmonic waveguides have been recently proposed such as metal nanoparticle chains, metal films, metal/insulator/ metal (MIM) slabs, metal strips, etc. We have shown recently that the nonlinear optical phenomena are strongly pronounced at the interface of a metal and a smectic A liquid crystal (SALC) due to the nonlinear surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mixing in SALC with a large Kerr nonlinearity. In this paper, we investigated theoretically a MIM waveguide containing a SALC layer. We evaluated the modes of such a MIM waveguide and the nonlinear polarization caused by the smectic layer displacement.
