Abstract

We propose a structure of a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide with a stub modified by cuts. Our simulation results, conducted by the finite element method, show that the wavelengths of transmission dip vary with the position of the cuts and form the zigzag lines. A transmission line model is also presented, and it agrees with simulation results well. It is believed that our findings provide a smart way to design a plasmonic waveguide filter at the communication region based on MIM structures.
