Abstract

Dual effect of surface plasmon propagation and classical core guidance is made possible in this work with the integration of metamaterial in a fiber. Here, the alternate layers of \(\hbox {TiO}_{2}\) and Ag form anisotropic metamaterial that helps in plasmonic propagation. The designed fiber with the proposed metamaterial as a cladding supports both normal core guidance and surface guidance at different wavelength based on their anisotropy. Parameters such as dispersion and confinement loss are analyzed at different wavelength. Simulation results are obtained to confirm the proper propagation of modes.
