Abstract
This article presents a study and comparison of the plasmonic non-radiating dielectric (NRD) waveguide and slot waveguide simulations, which includes the reproduction and comparison of the reported results in previous literature. These simulated results help us understand the different solver and their settings for such high-frequency applications. Also, it cross-verify the concepts related to this colorful field. Most of the related articles reproduced in this article are either fabricated or based on pure simulations. They discuss or examine the properties such as dispersion curves, propagation length along with the slot, propagation loss, and electric field magnitude or intensity plot SPP propagation.
