Abstract

We introduce a plasmonic waveguide system, based on a plasmonic analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency, which supports a subwavelength slow-light mode, and exhibits a small group velocity dispersion. The system consists of a periodic array of two metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) stub resonators side-coupled to a MDM waveguide. Decreasing the frequency spacing between the two resonances increases the slowdown factor and decreases the bandwidth of the slow-light band. We also show that there is a trade-off between the slowdown factor and the propagation length of the slow-light mode.
