Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waves exhibit local characteristics that can break diffraction limits; for this reason, the production of subwavelength optoelectronic device has been the focus of current studies. To determine the importance of surface plasmon wave applications, we aim to investigate whether or not the theoretical dispersion obtained in the plasma and metal (Drude model) exhibits the same expression, satisfy the relationship of SPPs by controlling the electron density of the plasma and the frequency of the incident electromagnetic wave, and derive the system performance parameters and plasma density parameters by changing the grating geometry and dielectric constant of the surrounding medium by using the grating structure based on surface plasmon propagation characteristics associated with sensor research. The simulation results of then design structure showed that transmission bandwidth rapidly decreases and transmission peak gradually decreases as metal dielectric thickness decreases. An SPP sensor can effectively eliminate light instability in the two wavelengths of light intensity difference to obtain anti-interference and improve the range of the measuring instrument by using two fiber-grating structure filters. Therefore, studies on surface plasmon devices for integrated application are of promotional importance.

Semi-circle long-range dielectric-loaded surface plasmon-polariton waveguide (LR-DLSPPW) is proposed, in which a thin and narrow metal stripe (15-nm-thick and 500-nm-wide) is sandwiched between a semi-circle dielectric ridge(with the refractive index of 1.535 ,the radius of 777 nm) and a dielectric film (with the refractive index of 1.493) supported by low-index substrate (with the refractive index of 1.34). The mode effective index, propagation length, mode width and figures of merit of the fundamental mode supported using the finite-element method are calculated at the telecom wavelength λ =1.55μm for different dimensions (t) of the dielectric film. It was calculated that the optimized structure have the maximized parameters with figures of merit 3.75×10¬6and propagation length 3.7mm at t=570 nm. The semi-circle LR-DLSPPW structure is found to exhibit about 20% increase of the propagation length as compared to the conventional rectangular LR-DLSPPW while ridge thickness t≤600 nm. The proposed configuration allows for easy connection to electrodes enabling, and is technologically simple being compatible with planar fabrication using UV-lithography.
