Abstract
In this report, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrates that multipole modes could be excited effectively in dark plasmonic resonators without introducing any other bright resonators at microwave range based on a two-dimensional frequency selective surface (FSS) structure. These excited multipole resonances are closely related to the coupling strength between adjacent S-LSPs resonators (the periodicity of the FSS). The modes splitting effects and resonance frequencies of the excited multipole modes are regulated by changing the numbers of grooves and inner disk radius, both of which play significant roles in the excitation of the dark S-LSPs disk resonator at normal incidence. Moreover, the multipole resonances characteristics of dark S-LSPs resonators in the case of oblique incidence are also presented. Observation of such multipole resonances in dark S-LSPs without introducing extra bright resonance at normal/oblique incidence would find more potential applications in microwave and terahertz based sensors, plasmonic resonance devices and metamaterial devices.
