Free-standing plasmonic metal-dielectric-metal bandpass filter with high transmission efficiency

Abstract Plasmonic spectrum filtering devices based on metallic nanostructures have attracted wide attention due to their good reliability, ease of fabrication, and wideband tunability. However, the presence of thick substrate significantly limits the structure’s longitudinal size for further optoel...
