Abstract
A multi-purpose waveguide structure utilizing surface plasma polariton (SPPs) has been developed. This structure consists of a metal–insulator-metal (MIM) straight waveguide with a silver baffle, an analogous M-shaped cavity, and a semi-ellipse cavity. Utilizing the finite element method, the structure’s optical transmission properties and magnetic field distributions are examined. The results show that Fano peaks maybe originate from different resonance cavities. Fano resonances can be adjusted individually by modifying the geometrical properties of the corresponding cavity. The refractive index sensing technique is investigated, and it is discovered that the refractive index sensitivity may reach up to 1980 nm/RIU. This proposed structure can detect cholesterol and ethylene glycol concentrations simultaneously by separating the analogous M-shaped cavity and the semi-ellipse cavity, with sensitivities reaching 30.2 nm mL/mg and 137.5 nm/%, respectively. Thus, it has the potential to be employed as a multifunctional nanoscale sensor.
期刊介绍:
Plasmonics is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed leading-edge original articles that both advance and report our knowledge base and practice of the interactions of free-metal electrons, Plasmons.
Topics covered include notable advances in the theory, Physics, and applications of surface plasmons in metals, to the rapidly emerging areas of nanotechnology, biophotonics, sensing, biochemistry and medicine. Topics, including the theory, synthesis and optical properties of noble metal nanostructures, patterned surfaces or materials, continuous or grated surfaces, devices, or wires for their multifarious applications are particularly welcome. Typical applications might include but are not limited to, surface enhanced spectroscopic properties, such as Raman scattering or fluorescence, as well developments in techniques such as surface plasmon resonance and near-field scanning optical microscopy.
