Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Excitement within Hybrid Plasmonic-Photonic Structures

In this article, hybrid plasmonic- photonic structures are studied considering localized surface Plasmon polariton excitement. The hybrid structures are composed of silicon dielectric material and gold as plasmonic part. 3D-FDTD based simulation results demonstrate that the radiated optical field exciting the Plasmon resonance of the metallic substructure is confined within the interface of the plasmonic and dielectric materials.The enhanced localized field can be applied in a wide range of applications based on optical field confinement including optical nonlinearity, data storage, nanolasers, power supply, … .
