Abstract-Terahertz composite plasmonic slabs based on double-layer metallic gratings
A composite plasmonic slab based on double-layer metallic gratings and a dielectric film is experimentally and numerically demonstrated in terahertz (THz) regions, which can support two resonance modes and then form a broad bandgap (40%). As compared to the double-layer metal grating, the dielectric film in composite THz slabs significantly enhances the transmission of the transverse magnetic (TM) mode. Electric field vector proved that the low-frequency resonance mode originates from the symmetric plasmonic mode and the high-frequency resonance mode is induced by the hybrid mode of plasmonic and dielectric modes. The inherently near field coupling between metal gratings and dielectric film has been analyzed by changing the structural parameters. We further demonstrate that by tuning the metallic grating width, the plasmonic bandgap can be manipulated. These results suggest that this composite plasmonic slab has great potential for use as a filter, polarizer, and sensor in THz regions.
