Plasmonic resonance in planer split ring trimer

Abstract

We have numerically investigated the plasmon properties supported by asymmetry planer split ring trimer structures. We investigate the modification of gap distance, thickness and gap width on the transmission properties of the weak coupling model (g is larger than or equal to 120nm, d=48nm, t is larger than 30nm, w1=200nm, and w2=40nm), as the coupling becomes weaker, the first peak sharply attenuates, the second peak slightly decreases, the transmission dip in the near-infrared region becomes shallow, and they are very sensitive to the gap distance between two small split ring pairs and the thickness and gap width of the big split ring. We also study the change of gap distance on the strong coupling model (g is smaller than or equal to 40nm, d=24nm, t=10nm, w1=80nm, and w2=20nm), there exists a new Fano resonance peak, the strongest peak in visible region becomes symmetry, while the peak in near-infrared region becomes asymmetry. The resonator design strategy opens up a rich pathway for the implementation of optimized optical properties for specific applications.
