Abstract

Plasmonic Fano resonances arise in symmetric single-layer conical nanoshells, which can be switched on and off by changing the polarization of the incident electric field. By breaking the symmetry, higher-order dark hybridized modes emerge in the spectrum, which couple to the superradiant bright mode and induce higher-order plasmonic Fano resonances. From a comparison with spherical nanostructures, it comes out that single-layer conical nanoshells are found to be highly capable in the generation of higher-order Fano resonances with larger modulation depths in the optical spectra. Such nanostructures are also found to offer high values of figure of merit and contrast ratio due to which they are highly suitable for biological sensors.
