Broadband and Wide-Angle Performance of a Perfect Absorber Using a MIM Structure with 2D MXene

Tunable Multi-Channels Bandpass InGaAsP Plasmonic Filter Using Coupled Arrow Shape Cavities

A new design for a tunable multi-channel plasmonic bandpass filter was numerically investigated using the two-dimensional finite element method (2D-FEM). The proposed multi-channel plasmonic bandpass filter consists of a metal-insulator-metal waveguide (MIM-WG) and double-sided arrow-shaped cavities. Silver (Ag) and a non-linear optical medium (InGaAsP) are used in the designed filter. InGaAsP fills the bus waveguide and arrow-shaped cavities. The refractive index of InGaAsP is sensitive to the incident light intensity, therefore the resonance wavelengths can be controlled. Utilizing different incident light intensities (such as 1017 v2/m2 and 2 × 1017 v2/m2) on the InGaAsP, the filter wavelengths can be tuned over a range from 600 nm to 1200 nm. The proposed filter with a confinement area of 0.5 μm2 can be used in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), photonic systems, coloring filters, sensing, and 5G+ communication.
