Abstract

We theoretically investigate an end-coupled metal–dielectric–metal (MDM) structure that achieves analogous plasmon-induced absorption (APIA) in an area-cost-free manner. First, a squared ring is set to end-couple with MDM input and output waveguides, generating three Lorentzian-like peaks in the spectrum. Then, two APIA windows as well as two Fano resonances can be induced via appropriately arranging two area-free cavities. Numerous numerical results demonstrate that the proposed structure has remarkable sensing and phase characteristics. Our proposed PIA-based MDM structure is promising in potential applications of bio-chemical sensing, slow light devices, optical switching, and chip-scale plasmonic devices.
