Abstract

We present an ultrathin dual-band plasmonic waveguide and frequency splitter experimentally based on designer surface plasmon polaritons (DSPPs) of planar composite periodic gratings. In such planar plasmonic metamaterials, the electromagnetic wave can be tightly confined around an ultrathin metallic grating, and the propagation of DSPPs strongly depends on the dispersion relation determined by the depth of groove. Based on such features, we design and fabricate an ultrathin composite grating to support two DSPP modes, which exhibit low bending loss in the bending surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waveguide. We further propose an ultrathin SPP frequency splitter by adjusting the groove depths of two branches. The experimental results are in good agreement to the numerical simulations.
