In this paper a procedure for sidelobe suppression in the frequency response of a MIM (metal-insulator-metal) plasmonic fllter is presented. Using the calculated efiective refractive index for various values of the width of dielectric core and Bragg condition, the structural proflle of primary fllter is obtained. The frequency response for the transmission coe-cient of the MIM plasmonic fllter is derived by TRC-LOD-FDTD method. The variation in the frequency response of the fllter due to changes in the structural parameters is studied. Finally, the usage of Gaussian, sinusoidal and linear types of gratings in suppressing the sidelobes and their efiects on the stop-band bandwidth of the MIM plasmonic fllter is investigated.
