Calculation and Optimization of Electromagnetic Resonances and Local Intensity Enhancements for Plasmon Metamaterials with Sub-Wavelength Double-Slots

Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 113, 161-177, 2011
Abstract
We propose two metamaterials with sub-wavelength double-slots --- single-side double-slot metamaterial and double-side double-slot metamaterial. The dependence of the electromagnetic resonances and local intensity enhancements on the structural parameters is studied by the finite-difference time-domain technique and the finite element method. Results show that the central-arm of a double-slot structure strongly influences frequency and local intensities at both high- and low-frequency resonances. Very strong field localization can be achieved at the high-frequency resonance and its particular distribution can be well controlled by the width of the central-arm. A double-side double-slot structure can be utilized to separately enhance the high-frequency resonance, while suppressing the low-frequency resonance. The simulation results are discussed in terms of plasmon resonances.
