Abstract

The excitation of double-layer hybrid plasmonic modes is investigated by the finite element method. The hybrid modes, verified as the standing even order of both symmetric and anti-symmetric modes, are effectively generated. There are several advances in comparison with using the Si grating: the metallic grating not only compensates phase mismatch, but also acts as a magnetic polariton. The dependences of each hybrid mode on the geometric parameters are analyzed respectively. Interestingly, a second spectra splitting occurs at each hybrid resonant mode with an obliquely incident light. At last, the excitation efficiency can be further enhanced to 90% using the Salisbury screen. The proposed hybrid system can be utilized to design various double-layer graphene-based plasmonic devices, including tunable optical switches, thermal emitters, multiband absorbers, sensors, etc.
