Exceptional points (EPs) are degenerate singularities in a non-Hermitian system that can be induced by controlling the interaction between resonant photonic modes. EPs can enable unusual optical phenomena and significantly enhance the optical sensitivity under small perturbations. However, most studies thus far have been limited to static photonic structures. In this study, we propose and experimentally demonstrate electrically addressable EP in a plasmonic structure. Inspired by optical microcavity studies, we employ a localized spoof plasmon structure that supports circulating plasmonic modes in compact single-resonator geometry. The plasmonic modes are perturbed by an angled metal line, and the interaction between the plasmonic modes is electrically controlled using a varactor. Continuous electrical tuning of the varactor capacitance facilitates simultaneous coalescence of the real and imaginary parts of the eigenfrequency, allowing the direct addressing of EPs. We first investigate the eigenmodes and their coupling in localized plasmonic structures using numerical simulations. We then present experimentally measured spectra that manifest the coalescence of the two resonant modes in both the resonance frequency and linewidth. Electrically addressable EPs in compact plasmonic structures may provide exciting opportunities for highly functional and tunable elements in integrated device platforms.

紧凑等离子体结构中异常点的电寻址

异常点 (EP) 是非厄米系统中的退化奇点,可以通过控制共振光子模式之间的相互作用来诱导。EP 可以实现不寻常的光学现象,并显着提高小扰动下的光学灵敏度。然而,迄今为止,大多数研究仅限于静态光子结构。在这项研究中,我们提出并通过实验证明了等离子体结构中的电可寻址 EP。受光学微腔研究的启发,我们采用局部欺骗等离子体结构,支持紧凑的单谐振器几何中的循环等离子体模式。等离子模式受到倾斜金属线的扰动,等离子模式之间的相互作用使用变容二极管进行电控制。变容器电容的连续电调谐有助于本征频率的实部和虚部的同时合并,从而允许 EP 的直接寻址。我们首先使用数值模拟研究本征模式及其在局部等离子体结构中的耦合。然后,我们展示了实验测量的光谱,表明两种谐振模式在谐振频率和线宽上的合并。紧凑等离子体结构中的电可寻址 EP 可为集成设备平台中的高功能和可调元件提供令人兴奋的机会。我们首先使用数值模拟研究本征模式及其在局部等离子体结构中的耦合。然后,我们展示了实验测量的光谱,表明两种谐振模式在谐振频率和线宽上的合并。紧凑等离子体结构中的电可寻址 EP 可为集成设备平台中的高功能和可调元件提供令人兴奋的机会。我们首先使用数值模拟研究本征模式及其在局部等离子体结构中的耦合。然后,我们展示了实验测量的光谱,表明两种谐振模式在谐振频率和线宽上的合并。紧凑等离子体结构中的电可寻址 EP 可为集成设备平台中的高功能和可调元件提供令人兴奋的机会。
