Abstract A tunable dual Fano-like plasmonic structure consisting of metal-insulator-metal (MIM), baffle and a rectangular cavity containing two identical rectangular metal blocks is obtained. Numerical simulation results show that there are dual Fano resonances in the transmission spectrum of the structure, which can be tuned by changing the geometric parameters of the structure. In addition, due to the apparent asymmetry of the Fano resonances, the system was developed as an effective refractive index sensor (RIS) with a sensitivity of 853 nm/RIU and figure of merit (FOM) of 1631. It is considered that this structure has important application value in high integrated photonic circuit.

Mode 2

This work proposed a multiple mode Fano resonance-based refractive index sensor with high sensitivity that is a rarely investigated structure. The designed device consists of a metal–insulator–metal (MIM) waveguide with two rectangular stubs side-coupled with an elliptical resonator embedded with an air path in the resonator and several metal defects set in the bus waveguide. We systematically studied three types of sensor structures employing the finite element method. Results show that the surface plasmon mode’s splitting is affected by the geometry of the sensor. We found that the transmittance dips and peaks can dramatically change by adding the dual air stubs, and the light–matter interaction can effectively enhance by embedding an air path in the resonator and the metal defects in the bus waveguide. The double air stubs and an air path contribute to the cavity plasmon resonance, and the metal defects facilitate the gap plasmon resonance in the proposed plasmonic sensor, resulting in remarkable characteristics compared with those of plasmonic sensors. The high sensitivity of 2600 nm/RIU and 1200 nm/RIU can simultaneously achieve in mode 1 and mode 2 of the proposed type 3 structure, which considerably raises the sensitivity by 216.67% for mode 1 and 133.33% for mode 2 compared to its regular counterpart, i.e., type 2 structure. The designed sensing structure can detect the material’s refractive index in a wide range of gas, liquids, and biomaterials (e.g., hemoglobin concentration).

Propagation Properties

We propose a refractive sensor based on directional coupling between two metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguides to measure the refractive index change of the insulator, which is designed to be with a structure of metal-insulator-metal-insulator-metal (MIMIM) in which surface plasmon waves (SPW) are excited. The propagation properties are analyzed by coupled mode theory, and the expressions about the coupling coefficient, coupling length and sensitivity are derived. The sensing properties based on simulation results are also discussed. Compared with a dielectric waveguide, the total size of our sensor with MIMIM waveguide is about one tenth that with dielectric materials, while the sensitivity is improved ten times larger than the former.

Small Footprint

In this paper, miniaturized design of a plasmonic Bragg grating filter is investigated via the finite element method (FEM). The filter is based on a plasmonic metal-insulator-metal waveguide deposited on a quartz substrate. The corrugated Bragg grating designed for near-infrared wavelength range is structured on both sides of the waveguide. The spectral characteristics of the filter are studied by varying the geometric parameters of the filter design. As a result, the maximum ER and bandwidth of 36.2 dB and 173 nm is obtained at λBragg=976 nm with a filter footprint of as small as 1.0 x 8.75 µm2, respectively. The ER and bandwidth can be further improved by increasing the number of grating periods and the strength of the grating, respectively. Moreover, the Bragg grating structure is quite receptive to the refractive index of the medium. These features allow the employment of materials such as polymers in the metal-insulator-metal waveguide which can be externally tuned or it can be used for refractive index sensing applications. The sensitivity of the proposed Bragg grating structure can offer a sensitivity of 950 nm/RIU. We believe that the study presented in this paper provides a guideline for the realization of small footprint plasmonic Bragg grating structures which can be employed in filter and refractive index sensing applications.
