Design and Simulation of a Metal-Insulator-Metal Filter Based on Plasmonic Split Ring
In this paper, a plasmonic filter made of a split ring, two U-shaped structures and two straight waveguides is designed and investigated. In the proposed structure, the split ring and U-shaped structures are situated between straight waveguides. Simulations are done based on FDTD method. Split ring, U-shaped structures and straight waveguides are made of air in the silver background. In the pro...
متن کاملSpoof plasmon analogue of metal-insulator-metal waveguides.
We describe the properties of guided modes in metallic parallel plate structures with subwavelength corrugation on the surfaces of both conductors, which we refer to as spoof-insulator-spoof (SIS) waveguides, in close analogy to metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguides in plasmonics. A dispersion relation for SIS waveguides is derived, and the modes are shown to arise from the coupling of convent...
متن کاملEfficient waveguide-coupling of metal-clad nanolaser cavities.
Many remarkable semiconductor-based nanolaser cavities using metal have been reported in past few years. However, the efficient coupling of these small cavities to waveguides still remains a large challenge. Here, we show highly efficient coupling of a semiconductor-based metal-clad nanolaser cavity operating in the fundamental dielectric cavity mode to a silicon-on-insulator waveguide. By engi...
متن کاملAperture-coupled MIM plasmonic ring resonators with sub-diffraction modal volumes.
We propose and investigate ultracompact aperture-coupled plasmonic ring resonators with submicron bending radii based on strongly-confined metal-insulator-metal plasmonic waveguides. Enhanced coupling can be obtained via diffraction by small apertures having typical widths between 50-100 nm in the metallic sidewall between the ring and bus waveguides. Both analytical model and rigorous FDTD sim...
متن کاملCoupled Mode Analysis of Metal-Insulator-Metal Waveguide Coupled with a Resonant Cavity
The coupling coefficients of two parallel metal-insulator-metal (MIM) plasmonic waveguides are investigated using the analysis of the coupled-mode equations. The frequency characteristics of the power transmittance of a MIM waveguide coupled with a resonant cavity are also studied and compared with the simulation results obtained from the FDTD method into which motion equations of free electron...
