摘要

Abstract

Control of the optical properties of nano-plasmonic structures is essential for next-generation optical circuits and high-throughput biosensing platforms. Realization of such nano-optical devices requires optical couplings of various nanostructured elements and field confinement at the nanoscale. In particular

symmetric coupling modes

also referred to as dark modes

have recently received considerable attention because these modes can confine light energy to small spaces. Although the coupling behavior of plasmonic nanoparticles has been relatively well studied

couplings of inverse structures

that is

holes and pores

remain partially unexplored. Even for the most fundamental coupling system of two dipolar holes

comparison of the symmetric and anti-symmetric coupling modes has not been performed. Here we present

for the first time

a systematic study of the symmetric and anti-symmetric coupling of nanopore pairs using cathodoluminescence by scanning transmission electron microscopy and electromagnetic simulation. The symmetric coupling mode

approximated as a pair of facing dipoles

is observed at a lower energy than that of the anti-symmetric coupling mode

indicating that the facing dipoles attract each other. The anti-symmetric coupling mode splits into the inner- and outer-edge localized modes as the coupling distance decreases. These coupling behaviors cannot be fully explained as inverses of coupled disks. Symmetric and anti-symmetric coupling modes are also observed in a short-range ordered pore array

where one pore supports multiple local resonance modes

depending on the distance to the neighboring pore. Accessibility to the observed symmetric modes by far field is also discussed

which is important for nanophotonic device applications.
