Fig. 3From: Plasmonic anapole metamaterial for refractive index sensingElectromagnetic responses of the plasmonic anapole metamaterial. (a) Measured and (b) simulated transmission (blue curve) and reflection (red curve) spectra, (c) multipole decomposition, (d) phases of electric dipole and toroidal dipole moments, and (e) normalized electric field and magnetic field distributions of the plasmonic anapole metamaterial in the yz-plane and the xy-plane. Grey dotted lines in Fig. 3b-d denote the resonant wavelength of anapole mode. White dashed arrows depict the orientations of the magnetic field. The xy cut plane is located in the middle of the upper dumbbell-perforated gold film. All the geometric parameters are identical to those in Fig. 2Back to article page
