A hybrid plasmonic parallel transmission line scheme constructed by a spatial single mode with time-domain multiline waveguide is presented in this paper. The proposed configuration enables a nanometer light localization while retaining a long propagation distance (similar to 74 mu m) at optical communication wavelengths with no crosstalk between data channels. High extinction ratio between the nanoribs peak energies (similar to 20 dB) has been achieved after optimization. Furthermore, the proposed optical parallel transmission line scheme shows the advantages of enabling an optical device with a large number of parallel transmission channels, as well as a good robustness with respect to the fabrication tolerances.
