“…[
7 ] The latter can be constituted by optical nano‐cavities (ONC) exhibiting epsilon near‐zero (ε NZ ) behavior with giant phase shift (δ). [
12,13,19,20 ] The ε NZ system guarantees the existence of two distinct surface plasmon polariton (SPP) modes (at the top or at the bottom of the metal–insulator interfaces [
21 ] ), with different k ‐vectors at the resonant wavelengths, that can merge into a coupled state also known as gap surface plasmon (GSP) which has its own resonant wavelength (
[
22 ] ). If the typical periodicity of the unit metasurface element P ( Figure a) is such that the related lattice resonance is nearly close to the ε NZ ‐ONC one, the line‐shape can show a narrow feature, which is a consequence of the losses in the metal layers.…”
