Abstract

Tamm plasmon polariton (TPP) is proposed to demonstrate the ultra-sharp resonance and strong fields confinement. Different applications from UV to NIR are presented, including selective thermal emissions, UV lasers, chirality mirrors, sensors, etc. A DBR-side TPP structure can overcome the limitations of the intrinsic property of the metal, which can support a stronger and narrower TPP resonance. The lithography-free, low cost, and refractory feature of the DBR-side TPP structures pave more possibilities for applications in nanophotonics.
