description Controllable surface plasmonic bending beams (SPBs) with propagating along bending curves have a wide range of applications in the fields of fiber sensors, optical trapping, and micro-nano manipulations. In terms of designing and optimizing controllable SPB generators, there is great significance in realizing conversion between multiple SPBs and single SPB without rebuilding metasurface structures. In this study, a SPB generator, composed of an X-shaped nanohole array, is proposed to realize conversion between multiple SPBs and a single one by changing the incident light wavelength. The Fabry–Pérot (F–P) resonance effect of SPPs in nanoholes and localized surface plasmonic (LSP) resonance of the nanohole are utilized to explain this conversion. It turns out that the relationship between the electric field intensities of SPBs and the polarization angle of incident light satisfies the sine distribution, which is consistent with dipole radiation theory. In addition, we also find that the electric field intensities of SPBs rely on the width, length, and angle of the X-shaped nanohole. These findings could help in designing and optimizing controllable and multi-functions SPBs converters.
