Modeling of Low Contrast Silicon Optics Split Ring Resonators

Bobby Barua, M. Shariful Islam, K. M. Aktheruzzaman

Abstract


Split ring resonators (SRR) are optical nanostructures which have attracted a great deal of interest because of their capacity to sustain magnetic resonance and their prospective application as low dielectric constant materials. We use SRRs as near-field transducers (NFTs) to generate a nanoscale hotspot in heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), which is being explored as a possibility for next-generation data storage. SRRs have been intensively explored because of their unique capacity to generate magnetic resonance and because they may be utilized to create materials with a low dielectric constant. This research delves into the intricacies of the most well-known composite particle (the split-ring resonator), which is used to create unique artificial structured materials (metamaterials). In our modeling study, we chose low contrast silicon waveguide to make it versatile and cost efficient. Rsoft Cad, commonly known as Beam PROP, is the simulator we utilize. The goal of this research is to achieve maximum flexibility while maximizing efficiency.
