Bandwidth control of forbidden transmission gaps in compound structures with subwavelength slits

Phase resonances in transmission compound structures with subwavelength slits produce sharp dips in the transmission response. For all equal slits, the wavelengths of these sharp transmission minima can be varied by changing the width or the length of all the slits. In this paper we show that the wi...

Sumario:Phase resonances in transmission compound structures with subwavelength slits produce sharp dips in the transmission response. For all equal slits, the wavelengths of these sharp transmission minima can be varied by changing the width or the length of all the slits. In this paper we show that the width of the dip, i.e., the frequency range of minimum transmittance, can be controlled by making at least one slit different from the rest within a compound unit cell. In particular, we investigate the effect that a change in the dielectric filling, or in the length of a single slit, produces in the transmission response. We also analyze the scan angle behavior of these structures by means of band diagrams and compare them with previous results for all-equal slit structures. © 2007 The American Physical Society.
