Tunable Plasmon-Induced Transparency Effect in MIM Side-Coupled Isosceles Trapezoid Cavities System

Abstract

We propose a plasmonic structure based on the metal-insulator-metal waveguide with the side-coupled isosceles trapezoid cavities. Both of the structures based on the side-coupled trapezoid cavities separated or connected with waveguides can realize the plasmon-induced transparency (PIT). By adjusting the structure parameters, the off-to-on PIT response can be tunably achieved. The coupled mode theory (CMT) method is used to study the PIT phenomenon and explain the transmission characteristics. This work may provide a potential way for designing highly integrated photonic devices.
