This report examines the cross sections of silver microresonators subjected to an incident light with different polarization. The microresonators had different geometries with and without broken symmetries. Cross section profiles for different microresonator configurations are interesting for the division of Material Physics, Uppsala University, when designing metamaterials to tune the optical response of the material. The goal is to form an insight of how the optical response can be tuned by choosing different geometries, varying the size and polarization of the incident light. In this project computer simulations in COMSOL were made to simulate the optical response of different microresonators. When the incident light interact with the silver microresonators plasmonic excitations is generated which in turn interacts with the light changing the phase and therefore the optical response. By increasing the radius of the disk silver microresonantors the resonance was found to shift to lower energies. For a geometry with a disk microresonator inside a ring microresonator the Fano resonances were dependent of the radius of the disk microresonator.
