Basis and lattice polarization mechanisms for light transmission through nanohole arrays in a metal film.
The extraordinary light transmission through double-hole and elliptical nanohole arrays in a thin gold film is investigated for different orientations of the holes relative to the lattice. Even though these bases have similar symmetry characteristics, the polarization follows the orientation of the basis for the ellipse but remains fixed along a lattice vector for the double holes. Furthermore,...
متن کاملResonant transmission of light through finite chains of subwavelength holes in a metallic film.
In this Letter we show that the extraordinary optical transmission phenomenon found before in 2D hole arrays is already present in a linear chain of subwavelength holes, which can be considered as the basic geometrical unit showing this property. In order to study this problem, we have developed a new theoretical framework, able to analyze the optical properties of finite collections of subwave...
متن کاملSurface-plasmon-assisted resonant tunneling of light through a periodically corrugated thin metal film.
We present experimental results and a numerical model confirming that surface plasmons can resonantly enhance light transmission through a corrugated metal film. A new interpretation in terms of plasmon-assisted light tunneling is given to recent experiments on light penetration through periodic subwavelength holes in a thin metal film. We designed a narrow-band filter suitable for applications...
متن کاملExtraordinary light transmission through opaque thin metal film with subwavelength holes blocked by metal disks.
We observed that when subwavelength-sized holes in an optically opaque metal film are completely covered by opaque metal disks larger than the holes, the light transmission through the holes is not reduced, but rather enhanced. Particularly we report (i) the observation of light transmission through the holes blocked by the metal disks up to 70% larger than the unblocked holes; (ii) the observa...
متن کاملSe p 20 05 Plasmon mechanism of light transmission through a metal film or a plasma layer
It is shown that a smooth metal film (or a plasma layer) can be made transparent for an electromagnetic wave when two identical subwavelength diffraction gratings are placed on both sides of the film. The electromagnetic wave transmission through the metal film is caused by excitation of evanescent surface waves (plasmons) and their transformation into propagating waves at the gratings. A model...
