Near-complete transmission through subwavelength hole arrays in phonon-polaritonic thin films
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report that phonon-polaritonic thin films with a periodic array of subwavelength holes allow nearcomplete transmission in the polariton gap where a homogeneous film completely suppresses transmission. We find that both propagating modes inside the subwavelength holes and surface resonances on the film interfaces play a crucial role in the transmission behavior. In the frequency range where both occur simultaneously, they interfere destructively and completely suppress transmission. When both mechanisms are spectrally separated, each individually results in enhanced transmission.

Full transmission through perfect-conductor subwavelength hole arrays.
Light transmission through 2D subwavelength hole arrays in perfect-conductor films is shown to be complete (100%) at some resonant wavelengths even for arbitrarily narrow holes. Conversely, the reflection on a 2D planar array of nonabsorbing scatterers is shown to be complete at some wavelengths regardless how small the scatterers are. These results are proven analytically and corroborated by r...
متن کاملTerahertz transmission properties of thin, subwavelength metallic hole arrays.
We present experimental results of the transmission magnitude and phase change of terahertz pulses through thin metallic films patterned with subwavelength hole arrays on silicon wafers. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy measurements reveal a sharp phase peak centered on the surface plasmon resonance. Correspondingly, and consistent with the Kramers-Kronig relations, the measured transmission ...
متن کاملTailoring the sensing capabilities of nanohole arrays in gold films with Rayleigh anomaly-surface plasmon polaritons.
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and diffraction effects such as Rayleigh anomalies (RAs) play key roles in the transmission of light through periodic subwavelength hole arrays in metal films. Using a combination of theory and experiment we show how refractive index (RI) sensitive transmission features arise from hole arrays in thin gold films. We show that large transmission amplitude changes...
متن کاملStrong second-harmonic radiation from a thin silver film with randomly distributed small holes
We report the observation of strong second-harmonic radiation from a thin silver film containing randomly distributed small holes. A pulsed laser beam of wavelength 1064 nm impinges at an angle of incidence 45◦ on the film, and the reflection is collected by a CCD detector and analysed by a highresolution spectrometer. Strong second-harmonic radiation was observed at the wavelength of 532 nm wi...
متن کاملField enhancement in metallic subwavelength aperture arrays probed by erbium upconversion luminescence.
Upconversion luminescence from erbium ions placed in the near field of subwavelength aperture arrays is used to investigate field enhancement of incident near-infrared light in such nanostructures. We study field enhancement due to the excitation of both propagating and localized surface plasmon resonances in arrays of square and annular apertures in a Au film. The conversion of 1480 nm excitat...
