Metallic nanostructures sustain surface plasmons that strongly couple incident light to the surface of the metal. They have received a great amount of attention as a possible means of light manipulation. Among the various reported structures, cavities are promising for spectroscopic applications because the cavity mode, with its narrow band, large modulation, and tunability over a wide range of wavelengths, provides a means to improve the resonances in far-field measurements. This report describes a suspended plasmonic nanofin-cavity structure capable of producing tunable reflected resonances with high quality factors (Q) in the infrared (IR) region. The nanofin-cavity structure having plasmonic hot spots on the ridges supports standing-wave resonances with enhanced electric fields in the horizontal and vertical directions; strong optical flows are thus generated and light turns in a loop, resulting in high reflectance. When the nanofin cavity is further coupled to the propagating surface plasmon resonanc...
