  • Simulating cavity performance, including Q-factor and modal volume, at room and cryogenic temperatures.

    • Main Results:

    • A plasmonic TM bandgap was successfully formed.
    • Subwavelength plasmonic mode localization was achieved within the bandgap.
    • A maximum Q-factor of 413 and a modal volume of 3.67x10(-3) µm³ were obtained at room temperature.
    • A Q-factor of 1.34x10⁴ is predicted at 20 K.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed 1D surface-plasmonic nanobeam cavity effectively confines surface plasmons at the subwavelength scale.
    • The design demonstrates a high Q-factor and low modal volume, suitable for advanced nanophotonic applications.
    • Lowering operating temperature significantly enhances cavity performance, indicating potential for ultra-high Q-factor devices.
