“…Due to the similarities between plasmonic waveguides and transmission lines, the stub idea has also been successfully extended to plasmonic applications at optical frequencies. Two-dimensional plasmonic single-stub (SS) and double-stub (DS) resonators have been employed in various applications such as tunable stop-band or band-pass filters [11,12], low-power high-contrast switches [13], absorption switches [14], highperformance T-splitters [15], reflection-less step junctions [16], plasmonic de-multiplexers [12,17], modulators [18], and observation of plasmonic analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency phenomenon (PIT) [19][20][21][22][23]. Arrays of single-or double-stub resonators have also been utilized in developing surface plasmon reflectors [24], or slow-light waveguides [14,19].…”
