We present simulations of plasmonic transmission lines consisting of planar metal strips embedded in isotropic dielectric media, with a particular emphasis on the long-range surface plasmon polariton (SPP) modes that can be supported in such structures. Our computational method is based on analyzing the eigenfrequencies corresponding to the wave equation subject to a mixture of periodic, electric and magnetic boundary conditions. We demonstrate the accuracy of our approach through comparisons with previously reported simulations based on the semi-analytical method-of-lines. We apply our method to study a variety of aspects of long-range SPPs, including tradeoffs between mode confinement and propagation distance, the modeling of bent waveguides and the effect of disorder and periodicity on the long-ranging modes.
