Abstract

Plasmonic reflectors based on serial stub structure are studied in this paper. A general theory of periodic stub structure using transmission line model is developed. The transmission characteristics, e.g., periodicity and symmetry of the spectra, are closely related to the ratio of structure period to stub length. Investigation reveals that the transmission valleys of the spectra could be divided into two categories, which is quite different from conventional Bragg reflectors. Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method is used in numerical analysis in this paper.
