Generation of long-range curved-surface plasmonic modes and their propagation through thin metal films in a tandem array

We describe the generation of plasmonic modes that propagate in a curved trajectory. This is performed by masking a metal surface with two screens containing a randomly distributed set of holes that follow a Gaussian statistic. The diameter of the holes is less than the wavelength of the illuminating plane wave. By implementing scaling and rotations on each screen, we control the correlation trajectory and generate long-range curved plasmonic modes. The study is generalized for the transmission of a plasmonic mode propagating in a tandem array of thin metal films using the evanescent character of the electric field.
