Seeking better plasmonic waveguides is of critical importance for minimizing photonic circuits into the nanometer scale. We have made a theoretical study of the properties of surface plasmon polaritons in a metallic nanowire over substrate (NWOS) configuration. The dielectric substrate breaks the symmetry of the system and mediates the coupling of different primary wire plasmons. The lowest order hybridized mode can be used for subwavelength plasmonic waveguiding for NWOS with thin wire, for a low-permittivity substrate, and in the shorter wavelength region. For NWOS with a high-permittivity substrate, leaky radiation into the substrate raises the propagation losses so that the propagation distance is shorter in the longer wavelength region. By simply adding a high-permittivity layer onto the low-permittivity substrate, we show that leaky radiation can be blocked and high-performance plasmonic waveguiding can be extended to the near-infrared region. Importantly, the NWOS configuration is compatible with current silicon technologies and can be designed into various deep subwavelength active devices such as electro-optical or all-optical modulators.
