Magnetic Fano resonance of heterodimer nanostructure by azimuthally polarized excitation
Abstract:
The optical properties of a Si-Au heterodimer nanostructure, which is composed of an Au split nanoring surrounded by a Si nanoring with a larger diameter, are investigated both theoretically and numerically. It is found that a pure magnetic plasmon Fano resonance can be achieved in the Si-Au heterodimer nanostructure when it is excited by an azimuthally polarized beam. It is revealed that the pure magnetic Fano resonance is generated by the destructive interference between the magnetic dipole resonance of the Si nanoring and the magnetic dipole resonance of the Au split nanoring. A coupled oscillator model is employed to analyze the Fano resonance of the Si-Au heterodimer nanostructure. The pure magnetic response of the Si-Au heterodimer nanostructure is verified by the current density distributions and the scattering powers of the electric and magnetic multipoles. The Fano resonance in the Si-Au heterodimer nanostructure exhibits potential applications of low-loss magnetic plasmon resonance in the construction of artificial magnetic metamaterials.
