We present a new method for creating bandstop optical frequency selective surfaces (FSS) using nanoparticle (NP) arrays. This approach utilizes coupled resonators for efficient optical filtering, validated by circuit and full-wave simulations.

Area of Science:

Nanophotonics
Metamaterials
Plasmonics

Background:

Frequency selective surfaces (FSS) are crucial for controlling electromagnetic waves.
Optical FSS typically require complex fabrication and are limited in performance.
Nanoparticle (NP) arrays offer a promising route to novel optical FSS designs.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a synthesis procedure for bandstop optical frequency selective surfaces (FSS).
To design FSS using two-dimensional (2-D) periodic arrays of nanoparticles (NPs) with subwavelength unit-cell dimensions.
To validate the proposed design using equivalent circuit models and full-wave simulations.

Main Methods:

Derivation of an equivalent circuit for a nanoparticle array (NPA) using a closed-form solution in the dipole approximation.
