Abstract
We discuss the transmission characteristics of a microscale dielectric waveguide device with a deep groove and an embedded metallodielectric grating illuminated by a continuous wave of TM and TE modes at low terahertz frequency. To study its performance we solve numerically the corresponding Maxwell equations by means of finite difference time domain method with uniaxial perfectly match layer as its boundary condition. By varying the angle of incident, grating filling factor and refractive index of analyte in the deep groove, it is found that the device exhibits a significant transmission enhancement for the TM mode due to the existence of surface plasmon interaction. We also demonstrate its potential application as a biosensor device.
