We explore an inherent connection between two fundamental concepts of physics–resonance (eigen mode) hybridization and lattice effect in sub-wavelength periodic structures. Our study reveals that coupling with lattice mode is the prime deciding factor to determine the nature, position, and line shape of the hybridized states. Modulating lattice modes can effectively control mode hybridization and tune the relative position of hybridized modes [symmetric (electric), anti-symmetric (magnetic)] without changing any other structural dimensions in subwavelength plasmonic metamaterials. Outcomes of this study can be exploited in designing linear and nonlinear photonic structures toward futuristic meta devices.

超材料中的晶格诱导等离子体激元杂交。

我们探索了物理学的两个基本概念之间的固有联系：共振（本征模式）杂交和亚波长周期结构中的晶格效应。我们的研究表明，与晶格模态耦合是决定杂化状态的性质，位置和线形的主要决定因素。调制晶格模式可以有效控制模式杂交并调整杂交模式的相对位置[对称（电），反对称（磁）]，而无需更改亚波长等离子超材料中的任何其他结构尺寸。这项研究的成果可用于为未来的元设备设计线性和非线性光子结构。
