Area of Science:

  • Photonics and Optical Engineering
  • Plasmonics
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) enable subwavelength light confinement.
  • Optical filters are crucial components in various photonic systems.
  • Directional couplers are fundamental in integrated optics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and numerically simulate a novel optical filter.
  • To investigate a filter based on an incompletely directional coupler.
  • To explore subwavelength surface plasmon polaritons for optical filtering.

Main Methods:

  • Finite difference time domain (FDTD) method for numerical simulation.
  • Perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary condition.
  • Cavity theory for deriving analytical solutions.

Main Results:

  • Resonant wavelengths are proportional to slit segment length.
  • Resonant wavelengths are inversely proportional to standing wave antinode number.
  • Resonant wavelengths depend on slit width and inter-slit gap.

Conclusions:

  • Analytical and simulative results are consistent.
  • The proposed filter concept is feasible.
  • The filter offers tunable optical characteristics.
