The simulation results showed that our proposed structure has better mode confinement and propagation length compared to that of conventional dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polaritons (DLSPPs) waveguides. This structure offers greater flexibility for the design of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) waveguides by altering the trade-off between mode confinement and propagation length. The proposed structure has significant potential for application in highly integrated photonic circuits.
