Popis: Summary: Coupled resonant cavities can enable strong photon energy confinement to facilitate the miniaturization of functional photonic devices for applications in designs of sensors, modulators, couplers, waveguides, color filters etc. Typically, the resonances in subwavelength plasmonic cavities rely on the excitation of surface plasmons at specific phase-matching conditions, usually determined by the lattice parameters and constituent material properties. Contrary to this notion, we experimentally demonstrate the control and manipulation of cavity resonances via suitably modifying the split ring resonator geometry in hybrid plasmonic-metasurface (dipole cavity-SRR) configuration without altering the lattice parameters. This results to the excitation of dual resonance peaks. Such dual channel characteristics demonstrate high quality (Q) factor, multi-band resonances, not permissible with typical (unhybridized) plasmonic dipole cavities. We envisage such hybrid meta-cavity designs can become important ingredients for futuristic terahertz devices that can hold the key for sixth generation (6G) communications, designer filters, dual channel sensors etc.
