Abstract

Plasmonic nanosensors and the dynamic control of light fields are of the utmost significance in the field of micro- and nano-optics. Here, our study successfully demonstrates a plasmonic nanosensor in a compact coupled resonator system and obtains the pressure-induced transparency phenomenon for the first time to our knowledge. The proposed structure consists of a groove and slot cavity coupled in the metal–insulator–metal waveguide, whose mechanical and optical characteristics are investigated in detail using the finite element method. Simulation results show that we construct a quantitative relationship among the resonator deformation quantity, the applied pressure variation, and the resonant wavelength offset by combining the mechanical and optical properties of the proposed system. The physical features contribute to highly efficient plasmonic nanosensors for refractive index and optical pressure sensing with sensitivity of 1800 nm/RIU and 7.4 nm/MPa, respectively. Furthermore, the light waves are coupled to each other in the resonators, which are detuned due to the presence of pressure, resulting in the pressure-induced transparency phenomenon. It is noteworthy to emphasize that, unlike previously published works, our numerical results take structural deformation-induced changes in optical properties into account, making them trustworthy and practical. The proposed structure introduces a novel, to the best of our knowledge, approach for the dynamic control of light fields and has special properties that can be utilized for the realization of various integrated components.
