One-way extraordinary optical transmission and nonreciprocal spoof plasmons.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a concept of a nonreciprocal spoof surface plasmon: an electromagnetic wave supported by a structured conductor embedded in an asymmetric magneto-optical medium and exhibiting a nonreciprocal dispersion. It is demonstrated analytically and by first-principles electromagnetic simulations that, by breaking the time-reversal symmetry, nonreciprocal spoof surface plasmons enable a dramatic optical response: one-way extraordinary optical transmission.

Localized spoof plasmons arise while texturing closed surfaces.
We demonstrate that textured closed surfaces, i.e., particles made of perfect electric conductors (PECs), are able to support localized electromagnetic resonances with properties resembling those of localized surface plasmons (LSPs) in the optical regime. Because of their similar behavior, we name these types of resonances as spoof LSPs. As a way of example, we show the existence of spoof LSPs ...
متن کاملBroadly tunable one-way terahertz plasmonic waveguide based on nonreciprocal surface magneto plasmons.
One-way-propagating broadly tunable terahertz plasmonic waveguide at a subwavelength scale is proposed based on a metal-dielectric-semiconductor structure. Unlike other one-way plasmonic devices that are based on interference effects of surface plasmons, the proposed one-way device is based on nonreciprocal surface magneto plasmons under an external magnetic field. Theoretical and simulation re...
متن کاملExtraordinary transmission of metal films with arrays of subwavelength holes.
Metal films with patterns of subwavelength holes (grids or meshes) have interesting optical properties including the extraordinary transmission effect. These optically thick metal films transmit more radiation than that incident on the holes owing to the excitation of surface plasmons (SPs). Meshes present a new and simple way to excite SPs at perpendicular incidence (i.e., without the need to ...

متن کاملDissimilar permittivity and permeability sensitivities in nonlinear plasmons and spoof plasmons.
We show that employing localized surface plasmon resonators to probe environmental media will always lead to dissimilar optical sensitivities to permittivity and permeability. We find that while the permittivity sensitivities of diverse plasmonic structures display a geometry-independent universal scaling relation, the permeability sensitivities are highly dependent on the metals' geometries an...
