The Transmission Characteristics of Asymmetrical Multi-Teeth-Shaped Plasmonic Waveguide Structure

The transmission characteristics of asymmetrical multi-teeth-shaped plasmonic waveguide structure are investigated theoretically and numerically. The tunable dual flat bandgaps are achieved in our proposed structure. This feature can provide a promising application for plasmonic bandstop filter. In addition, according to the hybrid effects of the first order resonance and high order resonance of N identical asymmetrical teeth, a sharp transmission peak can be obtained. This peak, which is within two bandgaps, possesses a relative small full-width at half-maximum, about 11.5 nm. Moreover, the resonant wavelength of this sharp peak can be regulated by adjusting the relative depths of N asymmetrical teeth. These results that we acquire may have important application potential on high-density nanoplasmonic integration circuits.
