Polarization weighting of Fano-type transmission through bi-dimensional metallic gratings.

چکیده
We demonstrate an approach allowing isolating effects of surface plasmon polariton mediated resonant transmission in a periodic grating by means of polarization rotation. The grating comprises a square array of cylindrical holes in an optically thick metallic film. Transmittance data for the co- and cross-polarized cases are described accurately with Fano-type and pure Lorentzian-type line shapes, respectively. This polarization control allows for changing the relative weights of resonant and non-resonant transmission mechanisms, thus controlling the shape and symmetry of the observed Fano-type line shapes.

Polarization-Controlled Broad Color Palette Based on an Ultrathin One-Dimensional Resonant Grating Structure
Highly efficient polarization-tuned structural color filters, which are based on a one- dimensional resonant aluminum grating that is integrated with a silicon nitride waveguide, are proposed and demonstrated to feature a broad color palette. For such a metallic grating structure, transmissive color filtering is only feasible for the incident transverse-magnetic (TM) polarization due to its hig...

Optical polarization properties of aluminum, gold and aluminum/gold subwavelength metallic gratings (SWMGs) are investigated numerically in the visible light band. Their performance as polarizing beam splitters are simulated with RCWA for varied metallic materials, grating depth and incident angle. Metallic waveguide theory is applied to explain the performance difference between Au and Al grat...

For several years, periodical arrays of subwavelength cylindrical holes in thin metallic layers have taken a crucial importance in the context of the results reported by Ebbesen et al, on particularly attractive optical transmission experiments. It had been underlined that the zeroth order transmission pattern does not depend on the polarization of the incident light at normal incidence. In the...

The conical rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) is employed to calculate the polarization conversion through the excitation of surface plasmons on metallic gratings. Various examples are examined with this numerical scheme. Our calculated results are consistent with those obtained from experiment and from other numerical methods. Three types of subwavelength surface-relief gratings are studie...
