In order to feed powers into and extract signals from the SSPP structures efficiently, the first efficient conversion between the guided waves and SSPP waves is presented. A matching transition which possesses gradient corrugation grooves and flaring ground has been proposed to match the momentum and impedance simultaneously of the plasmonic waveguide and coplanar waveguide, to achieve low‐loss transmissions.
