Coherent coupling of localized surface plasmons and surface plasmons in borophene-based metamaterial

The strong coherent coupling in different electromagnetic modes can control the light-matter interaction more conveniently. Here, we theoretically researched the hybridization between the borophene surface plasmon (BSP) mode and the borophene localized surface plasmon (BLSP) mode in borophene grating structure. This coupling effect leads to the emergence of multiple hybrid modes. The absorption spectra of the system are investigated through finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation and coupled oscillator model (COM). Results show that the coherent coupling of BSP and BLSP can be achieved by adjusting the carrier density of the borophene gratings. A Rabi splitting effect with frequency of 21.6 THz can be observed. Furthermore, we investigated the effects of geometric structural parameters, incident angle, and relaxation time on the correlated coupling spectra. Our work may deepen the understanding of light-matter interactions and provide a reference for borophene-based active photonic devices in the nearinfrared region.
