Infrared Plasmonic Transmission Resonances of Gold Film with Hexagonally Ordered Hole Arrays on ZnSe Substrate
نویسندگان
چکیده
The high fractional open area of metal thin film coatings, with two dimensional, hexagonally ordered, close packed arrays of holes, makes them of interest for the incorporation of plasmonic effects into a variety of optical devices. Gold films with hexagonal patterns of circular holes have been created on ZnSe infrared windows. The films have 2.50 μm diameter holes and a hexagonal lattice parameter of 3.06 μm which places the primary transmission resonances of the ZnSe/gold interface at ~1,400 cm (7.14 μm) and that of the air/gold interface at ~3,800 cm (2.63 μm). This geometry produces useful transmission across the whole traditional mid-infrared range. The dispersion of these resonances has been measured by changing the angle of incident light. The data is modeled with explicit momentum matching equations in two different, high symmetry geometries, allowing the effective index of refraction to vary with wavelength. The response of these resonances to the addition of an acetaldehyde coating is described.

Infrared Sensitivity of Plasmonic Metal Films with Hole Arrays to Microspheres In and Out of the Holes
Both experiments and finite difference time domain (FDTD) calculations show that infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy and IR transmission resonances of metal films with arrays of subwavelength holes (meshes) are more sensitive to material in the holes of the mesh than to material on the front or back surfaces of the mesh. IR extinction spectra of isolated, individual latex (polystyrene) sphere...
متن کاملRayleigh anomaly-surface plasmon polariton resonances in palladium and gold subwavelength hole arrays.
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and Rayleigh anomalies (RAs) are two characteristic phenomena exhibited by periodic grating structures made of plasmonic materials. For Au subwavelength hole arrays, SPPs and RAs from opposite sides of the film can interact under certain conditions to produce highly intense, narrow spectral features called RA-SPP resonances. This paper reports how RA-SPP effect...
