Slow Light Realization Based on Plasmon-Induced Transparency in Γ-Shaped Rectangular Resonator Structures
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, Γ-shaped rectangular resonators, which are created in a metal insulator metal (MIM) structure, have been studied analytically and numerically. The metal is silver and rectangular resonators are filled by Si and the peak of transparency profile is tuned in the communication band with proper geometrical parameters. By employing 2-D finite difference time domain method (FDTD), simulations show a plasmonic induced transparency (PIT) window in the transmission diagram. The PIT is created by instructive and destructive interference between bright and dark resonator modes. The presented structure demonstrates tunable transparency window by variation of symmetry parameter, s. The maximum group velocity is obtained 0.1 ps in communication band corresponded to 30 μm traveling of light in the vacuum which is comparable to previous articles. The proposed structure may have potential applications in optical memory and delay blocks in designing integrated optical circuits.
