This chapter is proposed with an approach to analyze reflectance as a function of negative index material thickness for different parameters under the surface plasmon condition and extended approach towards the field enhancement of electric field as function of incidence angle and transmittance as function of incidence angle has been analyzed. This chapter can reflect the good comparison between 3 layer medium and n layer medium model. Characteristic impedance of MIM surface plasmon structure is analytically calculated considering the effect of both Faraday inductance and kinetic inductance. Effect of metal layer thickness, insulator thickness, and electron density are tailored to observe the impedance variation with frequency. Wavelength dependence of characteristic impedance and quality factor of MIM (metal-insulator-metal) surface plasmon structure is analyzed. Structural parameters and damping ratio of the structure is tuned within allowable limit to analyze the variation after detailed analytical computation.

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate wedge mode propagation characteristics of a triangular-shaped surface plasmon waveguide. This structure consists of a thin metal layer deposited onto the surface of a triangular–shaped silicon waveguide which could be fabricated on a silicon–on–insulator wafer by wet–bulk micromachining. These elements are embedded in a dielectric medium (such as air) to form metal–dielectric interface and the surface plasmon wave propagates at the wedge of metal layer. The influence of structural parameters such as metal layer, height of silicon waveguide and effect of fabrication on the wedge mode propagation characteristics of the waveguide is analyzed by using numerical simulation. Keywords: V–shaped waveguide, Surface plasmon polariton, plasmonic waveguide.

The near-field enhancement and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) on the core-shell noble metal nanostructure surfaces are widely studied for various biomedical applications. However, the study of the optical properties of new plasmonic non-spherical nanostructures is less explored. This numerical study quantifies the optical properties of spherical and non-spherical (prolate and oblate) dimer nanostructures by introducing finite element modelling in COMSOL Multiphysics. The surface plasmon resonance peaks of gold nanostructures should be understood and controlled for use in biological applications such as photothermal therapy and drug delivery. In this study, we find that non-spherical prolate and oblate gold dimers give excellent tunability in a wide range of biological windows. The electromagnetic field enhancement and surface plasmon resonance peak can be tuned by varying the aspect ratio of non-spherical nanostructures, the refractive index of the surrounding medium, shell thickness, and the distance of separation between nanostructures. The absorption spectra exhibit considerably greater dependency on the aspect ratio and refractive index than the shell thickness and separation distance. These results may be essential for applying the spherical and non-spherical nanostructures to various absorption-based applications.

Reflection loss on the optical component surface is detrimental to performance. Several researchers have discovered that the eyes of moths are covered with micro- and nanostructured films that reduce broadband and wide-angle light reflection. This research proposes a new type of moth-eye subwavelength structure with a waist, which is equivalent to a gradient refractive index film layer with high–low–high hyperbolic-type fill factor distribution. The diffraction order characteristics of a moth-eye subwavelength structure are first analyzed using a rigorous coupled wave analysis. The moth-eye structural parameters are optimized within the spectral range of 2–5 μm using the finite-difference time-domain method. The experimental fabrication of the moth-eye structure with a waist array upon a silicon substrate is demonstrated by using three-beam laser interferometric lithography and an inductively coupled plasma process. The experimental and simulation results show good agreement. The experimental results show that the reflectivity of the moth-eye structure with a waist is less than 1.3% when the incidence angle is less than 30°, and less than 4% when the incidence angle is less than 60°. This research can guide the development of AR broadband optical components and wide-angle applications.

The extinction spectra and electric field distribution of an asymmetric cylindrical nanorod dimer (ACND) are calculated by discrete dipole approximation. The ACND is composed of two linear orders of cylindrical silver nanorods with different radii and lengths. The effects of the structural parameters of ACND on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) mode are also studied. Results show two resonance peaks in the extinction spectra of ACND: the higher-energy anti-bonding mode and the lower-energy bonding mode. The interaction of two hybridization plasmonic resonance modes produces an asymmetric line shape in the extinction spectra, which is considered to be a Fano resonance profile.

Abstract In this study, we reported plasmon-exciton coupling for excitation the surface plexciton in columnar thin film with a central exciton slab using the transfer matrix method in Kretschmann configuration. The optical absorption spectra for surface plasmon polariton, surface exciton and surface plexciton was investigated at different structural parameters in proposed structure. The characteristics of surface optical modes were analyzed and there was an anticrossing behavior between polariton branches of plexciton spectra. Localization of surface modes on interfaces and hybridization between plasmons and excitons at both interfaces of exciton slab were proved by the time-averaged Poynting vector. We found that the types of coupling regimes between plasmons and excitons from weak to strong could be achieved. We found a high Rabi splitting energy 840 meV corresponding to the time period 5 fs which includes to the fast energy transfer between surface plasmon polaritons and surface excitons.

In this work, we consider the use of planar sensing structures, which support excitation of surface plasmon polarition (SPP) modes, for detecting changes in solvents, i.e. water, ethanol, isopropanol. In the structures under study, SPP modes propagate along the interfaces between metals and general solvents. The analysis of characteristics of the resonance response is based on Fano’s approximation within the coupled-mode theory in the visible and infrared regions. The maximum sensitivity and field enhancement are revealed in the near- and mid-infrared regions in the case of ethanol and isopropanol, which enables sensing applications beyond the regions of water absorption.
