Incident-angle dependent color tuning from a single plasmonic chip

摘要

We report on a broad color tuning effect covering the visible range from a single plasmonic chip. By simply tilting the orientation of the designed plasmonic chip within a certain range, the photon–plasmon coupling interactions between the incident light and the plasmonic nanostructures on the chip can be finely tuned, resulting in an angle-dependent continuous color filtering effect. The physical mechanism of the device is investigated through the full-wave calculations, which provide important guidance for the design and optimization of the proposed devices. The broad color tuning from the demonstrated single chip will potentially benefit visualization and display technologies, and is particularly useful for the construction of reflection-based spatial light modulators.
