Abstract

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can overcome the limitation of diffraction and control light at nanoscale, thus becoming a hotspot in recent years. SPPs based metal-insulator-metal (MIM) plasmonic waveguides using U-cavity and slot cavity are designed. The transmission characteristics are numerically simulated and verified by the coupled mode theory (CMT). Meanwhile, the effects of changing the geometric parameters on the transmission characteristics are also studied. Single and double plasmon induced transparency (PIT) effects are realized through the coupling and the destructive interfering between the transmission paths. Furthermore, characteristics of the refractive index sensing as well as the slow light and fast light effects are also investigated. We hope the designed waveguide structures along with their transmission characteristics have potential application prospects in the area of nanoscale integrated optical devices, such as filters, sensors, switches, slow/fast light devices, and other optoelectronic circuits.
