Adaptive spatial resolution: application to surface plasmon waveguide modes

In order to simulate surface plasmon waveguide structures we have utilized and improved the adaptive spatial resolution technique and combined it with PML boundary conditions. Using this new technique we have developed a novel concept for an integrated surface plasmon biosensor.
