Near-infrared linewidth narrowing in plasmonic Fano-resonant metamaterials via tuning of multipole contributions
We report on an experimental and computational (multipole decomposition) study of Fano resonance modes in complementary near-IR plasmonic metamaterials. Resonance wavelengths and linewidths can be controlled by changing the symmetry of the unit cell so as to manipulate the balance among multipole co...

| Summary: | We report on an experimental and computational (multipole decomposition) study of Fano resonance modes in complementary near-IR plasmonic metamaterials. Resonance wavelengths and linewidths can be controlled by changing the symmetry of the unit cell so as to manipulate the balance among multipole contributions. In the present case, geometrically inverting one half of a four-slot (paired asymmetric double bar) unit cell design changes the relative magnitude of magnetic quadrupole and toroidal dipole contributions leading to the enhanced quality factor, figure of merit, and spectral tuning of the plasmonic Fano resonance. |
