Tamm plasmon in a structure with the nanocomposite containing spheroidal core-shell particles

摘要

Spectral peculiarities of the structure consisting of a photonic crystal coated with a nanocomposite (NC) have been investigated. The NC used contains spheroidal nanoparticles with a dielectric core and a metallic shell, which are uniformly dispersed in a transparent matrix. The spectral manifestation of the observed Tamm plasmon polariton (TPP) and Fabry-Perot mode has been examined. A significant polarization sensitivity of the spectra upon variation in the nanoparticle shape has been demonstrated. The dispersion curves presented for the TPP and Fabry-Perot mode are shown to be in good agreement with the spectra obtained by the transfer matrix method.
