In this paper, we show the simulation of a plasmonic band-pass filter which consists of two surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) waveguides and a resonator in metal–insulator–metal (MIM) structure. The resonator is formed by two square rings and a patch between them. The patch is a tiny rectangle cavity in order to transfer the SPPs from one ring to the other. The finite element method (FEM) method is employed in simulation. The results show that the dual-ring resonator performs better than a single ring does. The 3 dB bandwidth near the peak wavelength λ = 1054 nm is merely 31.7 nm. The resonant wavelength can be shifted by changing the side length of the square ring. This narrow band-pass filter is easy to fabricate and has potential applications in future integrated optical circuits.

This article describes the analysis and design of the excitation schemes of the plasmonic angular ring resonator-based band-pass filters using a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide. The excitation schemes of the plasmonic angular ring resonator-based band-pass filters have been analyzed in terms of their physical length by using commercially available electromagnetic full-wave simulation software (CST microwave studio). The excitation schemes of the plasmonic angular ring resonator-based band-pass filter using a MIM waveguide have been realized at the optical O (1260–1360 nm) and U (1625–1675 nm) bands, respectively, as it has dual-band characteristics. The excitation schemes of the plasmonic angular ring resonators have been designed and simulated to determine the variation in transmission and reflection coefficients. The magnetic field distribution of the proposed filters was observed. The ring resonators require low power and had a compact size, which was further used for the development of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The applications of these resonators are further extended and they are used in the development of antennas, branch line couplers, directional couplers and diplexers.

In this paper, we have numerically investigated a novel kind of ultra-compact wavelength demultiplexing (WDM) in high-confined metal–insulator–metal (MIM) plasmonic waveguides. It is found that the drop transmission efficiency of the filtering cavity can be strongly enhanced by introducing a side-coupled cavity in the MIM waveguide. The theoretical analysis is verified by the finite-difference time-domain simulations. Through cascading the filtering units, a highly effective triple-wavelength demultiplexer is proposed by selecting the specific separation between the two coupled cavities of filtering units. Our results may find potential applications for the nanoscale WDM systems in highly integrated optical circuits and networks.
