Abstract

We present a theoretical study on the anomalous transmission of an asymmetric Young's double metallic nanoslit with an ultrathin interval. The slit–slit interactions show exotic optical properties, particularly strong suppression of light transmission with narrow bandwidth and red/blue shifting of transmission peaks from individual slits, in contrast to currently well-developed subwavelength optical structures. Dip transmission is also observed to gradually decay with increasing interval distance. Analysis results reveal that such a phenomenon physically lies in the hybridized cross-talking of surface modes within two slits throughout the interval film in between. Depending on the plasmon hybridization type, either symmetric or antisymmetric, the newly induced optical phase retardation between the two slits can decrease and increase, respectively. This investigation suggests a potential way of nonlinearly bonding metallic waveguides and consequently aiding in the design of new plasmonic devices.
