Abstract
In this letter, we focus on stub resonators embedded in plasmonic slot waveguides. The resonators have potential applications in optical interconnects and sensors. We fabricate the samples by electron beam lithography and lift-off. We use a scattering matrix-based model to quantify the optical power output from the samples. We measure the properties of the resonators by coupling light in and out of the slot waveguides by optical antennas, making use of a cross-polarization-based setup utilizing a supercontinuum source and a high numerical aperture objective lens operating in the telecom-wavelength range. Our model agrees well with the measured data. Furthermore, development on the stub resonators can be made by using the methods in this letter.
