Abstract

Metallic nanowires (NW) coated with a high permittivity dielectric are proposed as means to strongly reduce the light scattering of the conducting NW, rendering them transparent at infrared wavelengths of interest in telecommunications. Based on a simple, universal law derived from electrostatics arguments, we find appropriate parameters to reduce the scattering efficiency of hybrid metal-dielectric NW by up to three orders of magnitude as compared with the scattering efficiency of the homogeneous metallic NW. We show that metal@dielectric structures are much more robust against fabrication imperfections than analogous dielectric@metal ones. The bandwidth of the transparent region entirely covers the near IR telecommunications range. Although this effect is optimum at normal incidence and for a given polarization, rigorous theoretical and numerical calculations reveal that transparency is robust against changes in polarization and angle of incidence, and also holds for relatively dense periodic or random arrangements. A wealth of applications based on metal-NWs may benefit from such invisibility.

Fig. 1
Fig. 1 (a) Sketch of the system under consideration together with the relevant parameters. (b–d), scattering efficiency Qscat as obtained from the quasi-static approximation. TM polarization (dashed line), TE polarization (dotted line) and unpolarized (solid line) radiation is considered for both Ag@Si (black curves) and Si@Ag (red curves) structures. (b) Qscat at a constant wavelength λ = 1550 nm is plotted as a function of the core to shell radii ratio. (c), the spectra for the different polarizations are presented. The size ratio Rc/Rs is fixed in such a way that Qscat is minimized in TM polarization for each structure. (d) Qscat spectra are presented when the core radius is reduced by 5%.

(b) Scattering efficiency spectra for a Ag@Si core-shell NW (Rs = 13.6 nm, Rs = 13.6 nm) and different polarizations: TM (black dashed), TE (black dotted) and unpolarized (black solid line). For the sake of comparison we also represent Qscat for a homogeneous Ag NW (red curve, R = 13.6 nm), a homogeneous Si NW (blue curve, R = 45 nm), and for a homogeneous 90 nm thick glass slab (refractive index n=1.45). (c–e) Maps of the electric field along the cylinder axis direction in TM polarization at a working wavelength of λ = 1550 nm (corresponding to the minimum of the black curve in b). (c) Bare silver NW. (d) Homogeneous silicon NW. (e) Ag@Si NW.
