Plasmonic modes in rectangular metallic waveguides are analyzed in depth and are demonstrated to possess attractive properties for different applications. Their dispersion characteristics allow for wide range of applications including slow and fast light, metamaterial, low loss energy transmission, and opportunities for sensing devices. The sensitivity of this waveguide configuration is higher than its counterparts and can reach four times the sensitivity of the MIM structures. The characteristics of the TM(10) mode are demonstrated. Its applications for sensing, low propagation loss with relaxed practical dimension are also highlighted. A high effective index of more than 30 is also obtainable for the TE(01) mode for slow light operation. A non resonant negative index material with isotropic polarization in the visible region is also proposed using this waveguide structure.
