Abstract
We systematically investigate bends in metal-insulator-metal (MIM) subwavelength plasmonic waveguides resonator, realized in a two-dimensional (2D) plasmon polariton metal using a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method with perfectly matched layers (PMLs) boundary conditions. We apply the outer portion of the bend structure in resonator which can lead to remarkably good bending transmission characteristics. We discuss the existence conditions of different modes which affect the device performance, and analyze coupling efficiency of the outer portion of the bend structure resonator in detail. Meanwhile, we find that the first dip of the outer portion smooth bend resonator nearly linear shifts toward longer wavelengths with the increase of the effective waveguiding length. In addition, add/drop directional couplers are realizable using the present resonator structure.
