Abstract
A multi-channel Fano resonant structure is proposed and analyzed based on subwavelength metal–insulator–metal (MIM) waveguides. First, two MIM output ports associated with specific side-coupled cavities are designed to locate at the center and quarter positions of an end-coupled cavity, respectively. Since the interference between the dark and bright modes, dual-channel Fano resonances with asymmetrical lines shapes are obtained at both ports, respectively. High sensitivity and figure of merits are investigated. Besides, phase shifts are also investigated leading to positive and negative group delays available at the Fano peaks and dips, respectively. Likewise, two extra output ports with identical resonant cavities are placed on the other side of the end-coupled cavity. In this case, four-channel Fano resonances with considerable performances are obtained. The proposed structure is analyzed by the coupled mode theory and the finite difference time domain method. It is believed this device can be used as a chip-scale refractive index sensor and optical filter.
