Modeling and Simulation of Nano-Interconnects for Nanophotonics

In this paper we model and simulate some nano-interconnects for nanophotonics. Both frequency- and time-domain methods are used for their analyses. Different cases are considered for nano-interconnects, including the nanostrips and coupled nanowires. It is observed that these structures guide the signals to the desired positions effectively at nano scale level.
