The application discloses a tunable
surface plasmon excitation structure and belongs to the technical field of micro-nano photoelectronic technology, which comprises a substrate, a
metal film is arranged on the substrate, an asymmetric slot is arranged on the
metal film, the slot comprises a small groove and a large groove,
PMMA polymer is arranged in the small groove,
polyimide orientation
layers are arranged on both sides of the inside of the large groove, a
liquid crystal layer is arranged in the middle of the large groove, a layer of
PMMA polymer is arranged on the top surface of the
metal film, the metal films on both sides of the slot are isolated and disconnected, an external
voltage is arranged on the metal films on both sides of the slot, the
liquid crystal layer is in an
electric field formed by the external
voltage, the
refractive index of the
liquid crystal layer is changed by adjusting the external
voltage, and thus the size of the
surface plasmon electric field amplitude is realized. The tunable
surface plasmon excitation structure has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient implementation,
rapid response, small integration and the like.
