Abstract

The hybridization of the plasmonic and guided modes in the case of one-dimension photonic crystal based on Bragg mirror terminated by a corrugated metal film has been demonstrated theoretically. The simulations have showed that the hybrid plasmonic-photonic mode is characterized by low broadening due to redistribution of the electric field intensity between photonic mode and surface plasmon polariton. It was found that the Q-factor and the polarisation sensitivity of these modes are about 144 and 25, respectively, that is 3 times greater than for surface plasmon polariton exciting in similar structure without Bragg mirror.

Highlights

  • Nowadays, the excitation of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) has been widely used in many branches of science and technology, for example, in spectroscopy, photovoltaics [1, 2], sensorics [3], medicine [4] and etc., due to its resonant behavior and ability to confine field in a subwavelength volume

  • The dependence of light transmittance through structure “1D photonic crystal (PhC)/sinusoidal profiled Au/GaAs” as function of in-plane component of the wave vector and photon energy is presented in Fig. 2 for both polarisations of light with the direction of periodicity lying in the plane of incidence

  • In the framework of differential formalism, the possibility of the excitation of hybrid plasmonic-photonic modes in multilayered structures with quasi 1D photonic crystal based on Bragg mirror terminated by a periodicallyprofiled metal film in a spectral region close to the visible has been analyzed theoretically using a curvilinear coordinate transformation method

Summary

Introduction

The excitation of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) has been widely used in many branches of science and technology, for example, in spectroscopy, photovoltaics [1, 2], sensorics [3], medicine [4] and etc., due to its resonant behavior and ability to confine field in a subwavelength volume. It is known, that SPP is a surface wave propagating along interface between two media, when one of them is surface active (with negative permittivity).
