Efficient Platform for Flexible Engineering of Superradiant, Fano-Type, and Subradiant Resonances

Delicate control of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) line shapes is crucial for the development of nanoplasmonics with dedicated applications. In this paper, we develop a method to fabricate large-scale periodic structures with significantly different plasmonic properties by the holographic lithography method. We show that SPR line shapes can be controllably engineered from a broad superradiant line shape to an asymmetrical Fano-type resonance, as well as an ultranarrow subradiant mode, which are clearly correlated with the structural parameter (morphology) of the fabricated structures. The wavelength of the SPR band can be tuned from the visible to near-infrared region by changing the incident angle. The nanostructures fabricated by the present method show a clear correlation between the morphology of plasmonic structures and SPR line shapes, which can serve as an efficient platform for engineering SPR line shapes for specific applications. Most importantly, the capability to produce structures of lar...
