Evolution of high-order Tamm plasmon modes with a metal-PhC cavity

Abstract We put forward the concept of high-order Tamm plasmon (TP) modes which are illustrated with a simple metal-Bragg mirror cavity. Results show series orders of TP modes are gradually generated through adjusting the thickness of the cavity, for which traditional TP modes only corresponds to the zero-order modes. The reflectance spectra and electric field distributions are compared to demonstrate the consistency of these series of TP modes. Meanwhile, the excitation intensity of different order TP modes are studied. Results show that the excitation intensity is related directly to the TP mode wavelength, and has no relation to the order number. These results might provide new ideas to the study of TP modes and guide the design and optimization of TP based devices.
