Abstract

Toroidal dipole moments, the third kind of fundamental dipole moment, have unusual electromagnetic properties different from the electric and magnetic multipoles. We fabricate a new type of 3D plasmonic toroidal metamaterial by using mutual coupling between dumbbell-shaped gold apertures with vertical split-ring resonators (VSRRs) at optical frequency. The radiated power of multipole moments are calculated and analyzed to improve the meta-system is dominated by the toroidal dipole moment. This result paves a way for practical application on metamaterial based devices, such as biosensor and lasing spaser.
