Item Open Access Multi-gap individual and coupled split-ring resonator structures(Optical Society of American (OSA), 2008) Penciu, R.S.; Aydin, K.; Kafesaki, M.; Koschny Th.; Özbay, Ekmel; Economou, E.N.; Soukoulis, C.M.We present a systematic numerical study, validated by accompanied experimental data, of individual and coupled split ring resonators (SRRs) of a single rectangular ring with one, two and four gaps. We discuss the behavior of the magnetic resonance frequency, the magnetic field and the currents in the SRRs, as one goes from a single SRR to strongly interacting SRR pairs in the SRR plane. We show that coupling of the SRRs along the E direction results to shift of the magnetic resonance frequency to lower or higher values, depending on the capacitive or inductive nature of the coupling. Strong SRR coupling along propagation direction usually results to splitting of the single SRR resonance into two distinct resonances, associated with peculiar field and current distributions. © 2008 Optical Society of America.
