    • To investigate its suitability as an optical data storage device.

    Main Methods:

    • Design of a metallic QWP utilizing a metal/insulator/metal (MIM) configuration.
    • Analysis of optical properties for both Transverse Electric (TE) and Transverse Magnetic (TM) modes.
    • Equivalent modeling of the element as a Fabry-Pérot (FP) resonator for TE modes.
    • Investigation of gap surface plasmon polaritons (G-SPPs) for TM mode transmission characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a wide operational bandwidth of 600 nm, covering the range from 0.95 µm to 1.55 µm.
    • Attained an average transmittance exceeding 70%.
    • Demonstrated the element's potential for miniaturized optical polarization detection and optical data storage.

    Conclusions:

    • The designed metallic QWP overcomes the bandwidth limitations of previous plasmonic QWPs.
    • The device exhibits excellent performance characteristics, including broad bandwidth and high efficiency.
    • This QWP shows significant promise for next-generation integrated optical systems and data storage technologies.
