Accuracy of surface integral equation matrix elements in plasmonic calculations

Olivier Martin, Raziman Thottungal Valapu, Eric Claude Le Ru

We study the convergence of the integrals required to be evaluated in the surface integral equation (SIE) formulation (or method of moments) for simulating the optical response of plasmonic nanostructures. We analyze how the numerical quadratures used to c ...

Fano resonances in the nonlinear optical response of coupled plasmonic nanostructures

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet

The coupling between metallic nanostructures is a common and easy way to control the optical properties of plasmonic systems. Even though the coupling between plasmonic oscillators has been widely studied in the linear regime, its influence on the nonlinea ...

Refractive index sensing with Fano resonant plasmonic nanostructures: a symmetry based nonlinear approach

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet

Sensing using surface plasmon resonances is one of the most promising practical applications of plasmonic nanostructures and Fano resonances allow achieving a lower detection limit thanks to their narrow spectral features. However, a narrow spectral width ...

High-Q silicon photonic crystal cavity for enhanced optical nonlinearities

Vincenzo Savona, Romuald Houdré, Ulagalandha Perumal Dharanipathy, Momchil Minkov, Mario Lucien Henri Tonin

We fabricate and experimentally characterize an H0 photonic crystal slab nanocavity with a design optimized for maximal quality factor, Q = 1.7 x 10(6). The cavity, fabricated from a silicon slab, has a resonant mode at lambda = 1.59 mu m and a measured Q- ...

Mechanisms of Fano Resonances in Coupled Plasmonic Systems

Olivier Martin, Benjamin Gallinet, Andrea Lovera

Fano resonances in hybridized systems formed from the interaction of bright modes only are reported. Despite precedent works, we demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that Fano resonances can be obtained by destructive interference between two brigh ...

On the evaluation of hyper-singular double normal derivative kernels in surface integral equation methods

Juan Ramon Mosig, Athanasios Polymeridis

A stable and efficient numerical scheme for the evaluation of surface integrals with 1/R-3-type singularities is presented. The method is based on the combination of the direct evaluation method and the singularity subtraction technique. The proposed metho ...

Detecting the trapping of small metal nanoparticles in the gap of nanoantennas with optical second harmonic generation

Olivier Martin, Andrea Lovera, Jérémy Butet

The second harmonic generation from gold nanoparticles trapped into realistic and idealized gold nanoantennas is numerically investigated using a surface integral equations technique. It is observed that the presence of a nanoparticle in the nanoantenna ga ...

Fano Resonances in Plasmonic Nanostructures : Fundamentals, Numerical Modeling and Applications

Benjamin Gallinet

Surface plasmons are able to generate extremely strong and confined optical fields at a deep-subwavelength scale, far beyond the diffraction limit, and now play a central role in nanosciences. A proper combination of plasmonic nanostructures can support Fa ...

On the analytic-numeric treatment of weakly singular integrals on arbitrary polygonal domains

Juan Ramon Mosig, Sergio Lopez Pena, Athanasios Polymeridis

An alternative analytical approach to calculate the weakly singular free-space static potential integral associated to uniform sources is presented. Arbitrary oriented flat polygons are considered as integration domains. The technique stands out by its mat ...
