Abstract

We propose and numerically analyze surface plasmon Bragg gratings formed by a periodic variation of the width of the insulator in a metal-insulator-metal waveguide. The results indicate that very good filtering characteristics can be achieved in these plasmonic Bragg gratings. To suppress the sidelobes in the transmission spectrum, we further propose S-shaped Bragg cells and find better performance. By introducing a defect into the grating, a defect state with high Q-value is introduced into the bandgap and a Fabry-Peacuterot-like structure is formed
