Effect of Shape Parameters on NanoOptronic Circuit Element Optical Response

ORAL

Abstract

We examine the effect on the visible-near IR response of a number geometrical parameters of optical circuit elements with potential applications for guiding light for communications and for use in other metamaterial/optoelectronics applications. Rounding of edges produces a shift in the resonance frequency transmission measurements and in numerical simulations. We also examine the effect of shape parameters on the response of u-shaped and single split-ring Ag structures and discuss the LC circuit model in describing their optical response.
