Abstract

In this paper, a two-channel plasmonic wavelength demultiplexer (PWDM) based on band-stop filters (BSF) using double-nanodisk-shaped resonators is proposed. The structure is numerically simulated using finite difference time domain method. First, a BSF is considered for modeling which supports three modes. Then, the effect of various structural parameters of the proposed PWDM is studied on the transmission properties in detail. The results show that the transmission properties of our PWDM are highly dependent on geometric parameters. The proposed structure provides a single-mode spectrum on each of the output ports with a maximum quality factor as high as 105 (FWHM = 7.7 nm). To this end, we illustrate that the concerning published research in this field, the significant privilege of our proposed PWDM structure is in terms of its good transmission efficiency, lowest FWHM and highest quality factor. Hence, such an arrangement is easy to fabricate and it has the potential for use in all-optical ultra-compact circuits and devices.
