Popis: Abstract A metallic nanocylinder array was previously proposed for the propagation of localized light generated in nanosized objects. However, the plasmon resonant wavelength for each cylinder shifts significantly with the propagation of light. In this study, a metallic nanoelliptic cylinder waveguide is investigated to control the plasmon resonant wavelength shift. The finite‐difference frequency‐domain (FDFD) electromagnetic solver is used to reduce the computational time. The relationship between the cross‐section of the cylinder and the plasmon resonance for the metal is described with the hydrodynamic Drude model. The effectiveness of the proposed waveguide in controlling the resonant wavelength shifts is confirmed by examining the plasmon propagation for 30 nanocylinders.
