Abstract

The designer surface plasmons (DSPs) are studied by the use of a kind of metamaterial with a structure of double sets of circular holes: subwavelength apertures, and indentations. The diameter and spacing of the indentations are smaller at least one order of magnitude than those of the apertures. A theoretical model is built to analyze the DSPs sustained by the indentations by using effective dipoles method. The influence of the DSPs on the transmission property is revealed for electromagnetic waves passing through the apertures. In order to verify the theoretical predication, a set of the metamaterial samples is made and the transmission spectra are measured in microwave regime. Our results provide a new proof for the existence of DSPs and are promising for proposing some techniques for optoelectronic devices in terahertz and microwave regime.

Figures (3)

Fig. 1
Fig. 1 (a) A set of circular through holes with diameter 2a arranged on a d × d lattice is pierced into a PCS with infinite depth ( h → ∞ ). (b) Schematic structure of the designed plasmonic metamaterial with double sets of circular holes. A set of additional subwavelength circular apertures with larger diameter ρ arranged on D × D lattices are structured on the hole-array surface shown in Fig. 1(a). Note that a and d are smaller than ρ and D, respectively, at least one order of magnitude.
