چکیده
We investigated grating-coupled transmission-type surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for sensing applications. In the transmission-type SPR structure, propagating surface plasmons are outcoupled to radiation modes by dielectric and metallic gratings on a metal film. The results calculated in air and water suggest that the proposed structures present extremely linear sensing characteristics. In terms of a figure of merit, a metallic grating-based structure performs 5.4 and 3.7 times better than that of a dielectric grating in air and water, respectively.

Design study for transmission improvement of resonant surface plasmons using dielectric diffraction gratings.
A transmission-type surface plasmon resonance configuration with dielectric gratings regularly patterned on a silver film was investigated with the aim of enhancing the diffraction efficiency of radiative surface plasmons. The theoretical work was conducted using rigorous coupled-wave analysis in terms of first order diffraction efficiency and conversion efficiency (CE). The results show that p...
متن کاملComparison of plasmon surface waves on shallow and deep metallic 1D and 2D gratings.
The propagation of a plasmon surface wave in deep metallic lamellar gratings is shown to be characterized by absorption losses smaller than on a flat metallic-dielectric interface. This feature is due to the formation of a resonance of the electric field inside the groove. Similar to the plasmon surface wave in shallow gratings, this kind of plasmon can lead to total absorption of incident ligh...
متن کاملSurface plasmon resonance properties of silver nanoparticle 2D sheets on metal gratings
Grating-coupled propagating surface plasmons associated with silver-nanoparticle 2D crystalline sheets exhibit sensitive plasmonic resonance tuning. Multilayered silver-nanoparticle 2D crystalline sheets are fabricated on gold or silver grating surfaces by the Langmuir- Blodgett method. We show that the deposition of Ag crystalline nanosheets on Au or Ag grating surfaces causes a drastic change...
متن کاملEffect of finite metallic grating size on Rayleigh anomaly-surface plasmon polariton resonances.
Rayleigh anomalies (RAs) and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on subwavelength metallic gratings play pivotal roles in many interesting phenomena such as extraordinary optical transmission. In this work, we present a theoretical analysis of the effect of finite metallic grating size on RA-SPP resonances based on the combination of rigorous coupled wave analysis and finite aperture diffraction....
متن کاملCompact Color Filter and Polarizer of Bilayer Metallic Nanowire Grating Based on Surface Plasmon Resonances
Surface plasmon resonances on bilayer aluminum nanowire gratings are studied in both theory and experiment. It is found that there are two kinds of surface plasmon on the bilayer metallic gating: longitudinal aluminum/dielectric/aluminum slit and lateral aluminum/dielectric interface waveguide mode. The surface plasmon waveguide mode resonance in the slits makes the grating act as a transverse ...
