Refractive Index Sensing Based on Multiple Fano Resonances in a Split-Ring Cavity-Coupled MIM Waveguide
2021
A metal–insulator–metal (MIM) waveguide consisting of a circular split-ring resonance cavity (CSRRC) and a double symmetric rectangular stub waveguide (DSRSW) is designed, which can excite quadruple Fano resonances. The finite element method (FEM) is used to investigate influences of geometric parameters on the transmission characteristics of the structure. The results show that Fano resonances are excited by the interference between the DSRSW and the CSRRC. Among them, the resonance wavelengths of the Fano resonances are tuned by the narrow-band discrete state excited by the CSRRC, and the resonance line transmittance and profiles are tuned by the wide-band continuous state excited by the DSRSW. The sensitivity (S) can be up to 1328.8 nm/RIU, and the figure of merit (FOM) can be up to 4.80 × 104. Based on these advantages, the structure has potential applications in sensing in the sub-wavelength range.
