Excitation of waveguide modes in plasmonic waveguide, formed by electron beam in glass

By methods of computer simulation the features of excitation of waveguide modes in plasmonic waveguide, formed by electron beam in glass, were studied. The waveguide is the thin layer of silver, or silver nanoparticles under the glass surface. It is shown that the efficiency of transformation of volume electromagnetic wave to waveguide mode can reach 0.8. The influence of geometry factors on the efficiency of transformation was studied.
