A Second-Order Optical Differentiator Based on a Metal–Dielectric–Metal Composite Structure

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The optical properties of a composite structure consisting of two sequentially arranged three-layer metal–dielectric–metal (MDM) structures separated by a dielectric layer are considered. It is shown that such a composite MDM structure can perform second-order spatiotemporal differentiation with high quality at normal incidence of optical signal. The obtained results can be used to create systems for analog optical computing and optical information processing.
