Abstract

Research on the classical analogy of asymmetric Fano resonances has gained momentum in recent years, owing to the steep dispersion of the Fano-like profile in classical systems, such as plasmonic nanostructures and metamaterials, which has numerous applications. We studied the double Fano-like resonances arising in a waveguide structure made of a periodic array of gold nanospheres placed on the top surface of an indium tin oxide (ITO) film, which is deposited on a silica substrate. These resonances emanate from the interference coupling between the dipolar surface plasmon mode of the individual gold nanospheres and the zero-order transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waveguide modes within the ITO film. Increasing the array period of the gold nanospheres or thickness of the ITO film shifted the resonance peaks towards the low-frequency side corresponding to the excitation frequencies of the zero-order TE and TM waveguide modes, which were red-shifted. Additionally, the double Fano-like resonance profiles were approximated using an analytical Fano interference model.
