Defect‐Induced Fano Resonances in Corrugated Plasmonic Metamaterials

Abstract

We propose a novel defect induced planar meta-atom that supports multiple Fano resonances in a defective corrugated metallic disk (CMD) structure. Numerical and experimental results reveal that multiple Fano resonances can be excited at terahertz frequencies when the symmetry of the CMD is broken by introducing a small angular defect. These multiple Fano resonances result from mutual coupling between the bright dipolar mode evoked by the edge of the wedge-shaped slice and dark multipole spoof localized surface plasmon modes. Furthermore, the influence of the angle of defect on the Q-factor and the resonance intensity of the quadrupolar resonance peak is investigated.Large values of figure of merit are obtained due to higher Fano resonance intensity and Q-factor.Results from two defective slices in the CMD structure validate the mechanism of the observed phenomenon. Our findings would enable a defect induced Fano resonance platform for bio sensing, terahertz domain filtering, and strong light-matter interactions.

Photonic crystal-based compact hybrid WDM/MDM (De)multiplexer for SOI platforms

“…It has been realized for on-chip interconnect using a lot of approaches. DCs, Bragg gratings, RRs, MMIs, and asymmetric Y-junction techniques have been proposed in the literature [13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

A Programmable Nanofabrication Method for Complex 3D Meta-Atom Array Based on Focused-Ion-Beam Stress-Induced Deformation Effect

“…As an artificial structure, the metamaterials/metasurfaces are usually designed to be a specially arranged, mostly periodic or gradient, meta-atom array of metal or dielectric [5,6]. The meta-atoms that form a metamaterial/metasurface are usually comprised of two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) subwavelength structure unit cells which show certain particular electromagnetic properties in a specific frequency range [7][8][9]. In addition to designing various meta-atom unit structures to achieve specific functions, the fabrication of structures is also an extremely critical aspect, otherwise, even the best design could be just a castle in the air.…”

Numerical investigation of terahertz polarization-independent multiband ultrahigh refractive index metamaterial by bilayer metallic rectangular ring structure

“…An arbitrary control of the electromagnetic properties of materials has been achieved by using metamaterials. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Recently, the discovery of articial materials with unusual and effective electromagnetic responses has become the key to metamaterial technology. Previous studies have focused on high-impedance surfaces, which have been used as an antenna substrate, 6 negative refractive index metamaterials, 7,8 effective surface plasmons 9,10 on perfect metal surfaces with gratings, 11 and effective bulk plasmons in thin-wire structures.…”
