Dynamically configurable successively switchable multispectral plasmon induced transparency
Abstract
Plasmon-induced-transparency (PIT) in nanostructures has been intensively investigated, however, no existing metasurface nanostructure exhibits all-optically tunable properties, where the number of transparency windows can be tuned successively, and switched to off-state. Here, we theoretically investigate and demonstrate dynamically tunable, multichannel PIT at optical frequencies. The inplane destructive interference between bright and dark dipolar resonances in coupled plasmonic nanobar topologies is exploited to produce tunable PIT with unique characteristics. In particular, we demonstrate sequential polarization-selective multispectral operation whereby the number of PIT channels can be varied successively from '3' to '0'. The results provide a promising route for active manipulation of PIT and show potential applications for multifunctional dynamic nanophotonics devices.
