Ab initio theory of Fano resonances in plasmonic nanostructures and metamaterials
نویسندگان
چکیده
An ab initio theory for Fano resonances in plasmonic nanostructures and metamaterials is developed using the Feshbach formalism. It reveals the role played by the electromagnetic modes and material losses in the system, and enables the engineering of Fano resonances in arbitrary geometries. A general formula for the asymmetric resonance in a nonconservative system is derived. The influence of the electromagnetic interactions on the resonance line shape is discussed and it is shown that intrinsic losses drive the resonance contrast, while its width is determined mostly by the coupling strength between the nonradiative mode and the continuum. The analytical model is in perfect agreement with numerical simulations.

Influence of electromagnetic interactions on the line shape of plasmonic Fano resonances.
The optical properties of plasmonic nanostructures supporting Fano resonances are investigated with an electromagnetic theory. Contrary to the original work of Fano, this theory includes losses in the materials composing the system. As a result, a more general formula is obtained for the response of the system and general conclusions for the determination of the resonance parameters are drawn. ...
متن کاملGiant optical forces in planar dielectric photonic metamaterials.
We demonstrate that resonant optical forces generated within all-dielectric planar photonic metamaterials at near-infrared illumination wavelengths can be an order of magnitude larger than in corresponding plasmonic metamaterials, reaching levels many tens of times greater than the force resulting from radiation pressure. This is made possible by the dielectric structures' freedom from Joule lo...
متن کاملThe Fano resonance in plasmonic nanostructures and metamaterials.
Since its discovery, the asymmetric Fano resonance has been a characteristic feature of interacting quantum systems. The shape of this resonance is distinctively different from that of conventional symmetric resonance curves. Recently, the Fano resonance has been found in plasmonic nanoparticles, photonic crystals, and electromagnetic metamaterials. The steep dispersion of the Fano resonance pr...

متن کاملOptical interactions in plasmonic nanostructures
We present a review of plasmonic nanostructures in which the constituent materials are coupled together by optical interactions. The review first provides a comprehensive coverage of theoretical framework where the optical interactions are described by the multiple scattering among the nanostructures. We then discuss the two limiting cases of weak and strong interactions. The weak interaction r...
