Spectra Analysis to Stretching of ADB Structure Metamaterial

Abstract

Asymmetric-double-bars (ADB) structure is one of the most interesting plasmonic metamaterials that has been broadly investigated. Here we propose to manufacture ADB on top of elastic material, to get direct control to the dimension of ADB elements. To analyze the spectra numerically, simulation by commercial software (COMSOL) are carried out. We successfully modify the characteristic spectra and enhance Q-factor of the peak near infrared by introducing angular and amplitude parameters of the stretching of substrate in the simulation. At the mean time, we significantly restrain red shift in the absorption spectra by applying flipped-configuration and substrate etching configuration to ADB structure. Intriguing quadratic functions between stretching ratio and the absorption peak wavelength are obtained when stretching in x and y direction. For other directions, EIT lineshape appears in transmission spectra. These results might contribute to future application of plasmonic metamaterial in laser controlling and sensors.
