Abstract
Using modal transmission-line theory (MTLT), it explores rigorously the polarization characteristics of plasmonic optical polarizer. To verify the validity of the approach proposed in this paper, a novel polarization condition, which is called mode suppression ratio, is defined. The numerical results reveal that the polarization length of plasmonic optical polarizer is $10{\mu}m$ dramatically shorter than that of conventional dielectric optical polarizer. Furthermore, the insertion loss of plasmonic polarizer consisting of metal Ag is small enough to be neglected below -1dB.
