The existence of Surface Plasmons (SPs) is possible only if the metal have a negative dielectric constant at the corresponding optical frequency. In this paper the propagation characteristics of Surface Plasmon Waves (SPWs) which exists on noble metals like gold (Au) and silver (Ag) due to the formation of Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs), have been evaluated theoretically and simulated with the help of MATLAB programming language. The variation of the propagation constant (PC), the attenuation coefficient (AC) and the penetration depth (PD) inside the metals and the dielectric has been determined. It has been found that highly conducting metals Au and Ag provide a strong confinement to the SPWs at optical frequencies.

The excellent transmission characteristics of graphene surface plasmon polaritons in mid-infrared band were analyzed and verified effectively through theoretical derivation and soft simulation in this paper. Meanwhile, a sandwich waveguide structure of dielectric–graphene–substrate–dielectric based on graphene surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) was presented. Simulation results indicate that graphene SPPs show unique properties in the mid-infrared region including ultra-compact mode confinement and dynamic tunability, which allow these SPPs to overcome the defects of metal SPPs and traditional silicon-based optoelectronic devices. Thus, they can be used to manufacture subwavelength devices. The work in this paper lays a theoretical foundation for the application of graphene SPPs in the mid-infrared region.
