Fano resonance is a resonance scattering phenomenon with an asymmetric spectral line shape, which originated from the quantum interference between resonant and non-resonant paths. Recently, Fano resonance in plasmonic nanostructures has been observed and developed to a research hotspot in nanophotonics. Plasmonic Fano resonance usually exhibits a narrow spectral line width, and cannot be excited by incident light and localizes at near field regions with a large electromagnetic field congregation and enhancement. Due to its special optical properties, Fano resonance has wide and significant applications in the areas such as single-molecule detection, high sensitivity sensing, enhanced spectrum, perfect absorption, electromagnetically induced transparency and slow-light photonic devices.
