Research on transmission characteristics of side-coupled rectangular-ring resonator
Keyword(s):
We investigate the characteristics of resonant modes in the side-coupled rectangular-ring resonator (SRR). The results show we can manipulate the resonant wavelengths of TMa mode and TMs mode by adjusting the outer wall width (Lx1) or the inner wall width (Lx2) of the ring resonators, and the effects of coupling distance on the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of resonant spectra are discussed. In sensing application, the proposed structure can work as a highly sensitive plasmonic nanosensor with a sensitivity of 1000 nm/RIU and a figure of merit (FOM) of 67. The values are comparable to periodic structures and the structures based on Fano resonance.
