Localized Surface Plasmon Fields Manipulation on Nanostructures Using Wavelength Shifting

Metallic nanowires have been utilized as a platform for propagating surface plasmon (SPs) fields. To be exploited for applications such as plasmonic circuits, manipulation of localized field propagating pattern is also important. In this study, we calculated the field distributions of localized surface plasmons (LSPs) on the specifically shaped nanostructures and explored the feasibility of manipulating LSP fields. Specifically, plasmonic fields were calculated at different wavelengths for a nanoscale rod array (I-shaped), an array connected with two nanoscale rods at right angles (T-shaped), and an array with three nanoscale rods at 120° to each other (Y-shaped). Three different types of nanostructures are suggested to manipulate the positions of LSP fields collaborating with adjustment of wavelength, polarization, and incident orientation of light source. The results of this study are important not only for the understanding of the wavelength-dependent surface plasmon field localization mechanism but also for the applicability of swept source-based plasmonic techniques or designing a plasmonic circuit.
