Abstract

A novel approach that employs active plasmonic metamaterials to create a digital coding Fano resonator is proposed, to the best of our knowledge. The meta-device consists of three concentric spoof localized surface plasmon (LSP) resonators and three positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) diodes positioned at three slits located in the middle and inner LSP resonators. Four Fano resonant modes can be independently switched by controlling the biased voltage applied to the three diodes. This provides a means for encoded modulation of multiple Fano resonances in metamaterials, which could have broad applications in fields such as multiway sensing, plasmonic circuits, and switching. We experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, which offers promising potential for practical implementation.
