A narrow-band subwavelength plasmonic waveguide filter with asymmetrical multiple-teeth-shaped structure

Abstract: Characteristics of a multiple-teeth-shaped plasmonic filter are analyzed. As an extension of this structure, an asymmetrical multiple-teeth-shaped structure is proposed and numerically simulated by using the finite difference time domain method with perfectly matched layer absorbing boundary condition. It is found that the asymmetrical structure can realize the function of a narrow-passband filter. The central wavelength of the passband linearly increases with the simultaneous increasing of d(1) and d(2).

“…Since a wavelength dependence analysis has to be carried out for this structure, one should bear in mind that the dielectric constants of the materials involved are also wavelength dependent. Therefore, the effective indices n eff1, 3 and n eff2 obtained with the EIM must carry the wavelength dependence of the materials utilized in the structure. We have used the Sellmeier equations available in [36,37] for the refractive indices of SiO 2 and As 2 S 3 , and a polynomial fit of the experimental data from [38] for the relative permittivity of Ag.…”

“…Thus, by changing the structure of the surface of a metal, the properties of SPPsin particular their interaction with light-can be manipulated, offering potential for the development of new types of photonic devices. Many approaches have been suggested for this purpose, particularly based on the metal-insulator-metal (MIM) configuration, such as tooth-shaped structures [1][2][3][4][5][6], gap-based filters [7][8][9][10], and, more recently, tilted coupled resonators for wavelength selection purposes [11]. MIM structures provide excellent field confinement, at the expense of shorter propagation distances and low quality factors Q (except for the structures in [11] which have achieved the largest Q for MIM-based geometries).…”

“…The MIM waveguide has a strong confinement of the light and acceptable diffusion length Surface plasmon polaritons [12]. Great lately, and some simple filters suggested wavelength plasmonic guide, such as plasmonic waveguide filters on the teeth form [15,16], drop channel filters with resonators disk [17], rectangular geometric resonators [2.18], and ring resonators [17.19]. They overcome the complexity of the manufacturing Bragg reflectors and reduce the length of the postponement for Surface plasmon polaritons.…”

“…Due to its unique characteristics including the strong confinement of optical field in nano-scale gaps, the high sensitivity of its transmission characteristics to the waveguide structures, and the facility of its fabrication, the MIM waveguide has attracted a great deal of effort in the fields of waveguide couplers [13], [14], sub-wavelength scale light confinement [15], [16], wavelength filters [17], [18], and integrated optical devices [19], [20]. Recently, numerous studies have been taken out to investigate the plasmonic resonators such as the plasmonic stubs [21]- [23], nano-capillary resonators [24], side-coupled FabryPerot [25], [26], high-performance wavelength demultiplexer [27], ultrafast all-optical switching [28], tunable high-channelcount bandpass filters [29], and slot cavities [30]- [34]. Ring resonator structure with circular or rectangular geometries is the mostly commonly used type of plasmonic resonators [35]- [40].…”
