Moreover, we derive closed-form solutions of the relevant tight-binding equations, which describe the response of these waveguides under time-varying excitations by a localized light source. In this context, we discuss the possibility of efficient single-mode waveguiding through coupled cavity-plasmon modes in chains of spheroidal silicon nanoparticles in silver at optical frequencies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue></record></records></xml>
