Design of nanofilters for optical nanocircuits

چکیده
We theoretically and numerically study the design of optical "lumped" nanofiltering devices in the framework of our recently proposed paradigm for optical nanocircuits. In particular, we present a design of basic filtering elements, such as low-pass, pass-band, stop-band, and high-pass lumped nanofilters, for use in optical nanocircuits together with more complex designs, such as multizero or multipole nanofilters, to work at THz, infrared, and optical frequencies. Following the nanocircuit theory, we show how it is possible to design such complex frequency responses by applying simple rules, similar to those in rf circuit design, and we compare the frequency response of these optical nanofilters with classic filters in rf circuits. These findings introduce a theoretical foundation for the fabrication of nanofilters in optical lumped nanocircuit devices.

Adaptive on-chip control of nano-optical fields with optoplasmonic vortex nanogates
A major challenge for plasmonics as an enabling technology for quantum information processing is the realization of active spatio-temporal control of light on the nanoscale. The use of phase-shaped pulses or beams enforces specific requirements for on-chip integration and imposes strict design limitations. We introduce here an alternative approach, which is based on exploiting the strong sub-wa...

Following our recent idea of using plasmonic and nonplasmonic nanoparticles as nanoinductors and nanocapacitors in the infrared and optical domains [N. Engheta et al., Phys. Rev.

Optical nanocircuits may pave the way to transformative advancements in nanoscale communications.

We present here an analytical quasi-static circuit model for the coupling among small nanoparticles excited by an optical electric field in the framework of the optical lumped nanocircuit theory [N.

We derive how coupling effects may affect the corresponding nanocircuit model by adding lumped controlled sources that depend...
