Abstract

We use coupled mode theory (CMT) to analyze a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) plasmonic stub structure, to reveal the existence of asymmetry in its transmittance spectra. Including the effect of the near field contribution for the stub structure, the observed asymmetry is interpreted as Fano-type interference between the quasi-continuum T-junction-resonator local-modes and discrete stub eigenmodes. Based on the asymmetry factor derived from the CMT analysis, methods to control transmittance asymmetry are also demonstrated.
