WITHDRAWN: Numerical & Analytical Modeling of Plasmonic Filter with High Q-Factor Based on "Nanostructured Resonator"

Abstract

In this paper, to achieve high quality filters, nanostructured plasmon resonators are proposed. The structure of proposed resonator is based on metal-dielectric-metal configuration and is designed in the range of 1550 nm telecommunication wavelength. To evaluate the proposed structure, finite difference time domain method as well as analytical method of coupled mode theory have been used. To obtain optimal results, the effects of the number of waveguides as well as the radius of circular and ring waveguides were investigated. The appropriate results will be obtained by considering a strong coupling between the incoming light and the surface plasmon. In addition, two transient and static wave structures have been used to evaluate the structure. The simulation results show that besides filtering behavior of the structure, it is possible to control the surface plasmon propagation speed in the proposed structure. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed structure will be used in many parts of a telecommunications link, including multiplexers, and multiplexers.
