Abstract

We report numerical analysis of the coupling of localized surface plasmons to the modes of U-shaped cavities. The coupling results in intense resonance for which the electric field is strongly enhanced on the cavity surfaces. As a result, an optical vortex in the power flow is formed in the cavities and a sharp and strong resonance dip is observed in the reflectance spectrum. High sensitivity of the dip wavelength to change in the refractive index of the surrounding medium is reported. The high sensitivity is realized with a small number of cavities, thus enabling miniaturization of detectors based on U-shaped cavities.

Fig. 1 (a) Schematic of the studied U-shaped cavity together with the direction and polarization of the incident light. The parameters are the period p, the height h, the Au layer thickness t, the incident angle θ, and the refractive index of the surrounding medium n. (b) Simulated total reflectance spectrum performed with periodic boundary conditions for p = h = 1 μm, t = 50 nm, θ = 35°, and n = 1 (the total and the zero order reflectance spectra are the same in the region of the resonance dip).
