Propagating modes in a metal-clad-dielectric-slab waveguide structure had previously been analyzed for the case that the penetration depth into metal clads is negligible compared to the dielectric slab thickness. See, for example, T. Takano and J. Hamasaki, IEEE J. Quantum Electron. QE-8, 206 (1972). In the present work, we analyzed the nanoslit structure by taking into account the effect of field penetration into the metal region without any approximation.
