Extraordinary Transmission of Three-Dimensional Crescent-like Holes Arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
We developed a method to fabricate a periodic array of three-dimensional crescent-like holes (3DCLH) via an inverted hemispherical colloidal lithography. It is found that there exists an extraordinary optical transmission in this non-planar perforated periodic array of 3DCLH when the electric field of the incident light is perpendicular to the cross-line of the crescent-like hole. This extraordinary optical peak is insensitive with the incident angles and sensitive with the angle between the electric field of the incident light to the cross-line of the 3DCLH. Numerical simulation based on finite-difference time-domain method reveals that this peak is caused by an asymmetric localized surface plasmon resonance. This structure might be useful for the optical sensing and optical-integrated circuits.

Extraordinary transmission through 1, 2 and 3 holes in a perfect conductor, modelled by a mode expansion technique.
We discuss a mode expansion technique to rigorously model the diffraction from three-dimensional pits and holes in a perfectly conducting layer with finite thickness. On the basis of our simulations we predict extraordinary transmission through a single hole, caused by the Fabry-Perot effect inside the hole. Furthermore, we study the fundamental building block for extraordinary transmission thr...
متن کاملTheory of extraordinary transmission of light through quasiperiodic arrays of subwavelength holes.
By using a theoretical formalism able to work in both real and k spaces, the physical origin of the phenomenon of extraordinary transmission of light through quasiperiodic arrays of holes is revealed. Long-range order present in a quasiperiodic array selects the wave vector(s) of the surface electromagnetic mode(s) that allows an efficient transmission of light through subwavelength holes.
متن کاملExtraordinary transmission of metal films with arrays of subwavelength holes.
Metal films with patterns of subwavelength holes (grids or meshes) have interesting optical properties including the extraordinary transmission effect. These optically thick metal films transmit more radiation than that incident on the holes owing to the excitation of surface plasmons (SPs). Meshes present a new and simple way to excite SPs at perpendicular incidence (i.e., without the need to ...
متن کاملResonant terahertz transmission in plasmonic arrays of subwavelength holes
A review of transmission properties of two-dimensional plasmonic structures in the terahertz regime is presented. Resonant terahertz transmission was demonstrated in arrays of subwavelength holes patterned on both metals and semiconductors. The effects of hole shape, hole dimensions, dielectric function of metals, array film thickness, and a dielectric overlayer were investigated by the state-o...
متن کاملStrong influence of hole shape on extraordinary transmission through periodic arrays of subwavelength holes.
We show that extraordinary light transmission of periodic subwavelength hole arrays, generally attributed to surface-plasmon resonances, is strongly influenced by the hole shape. Both experiments and calculations, based on a Fourier modal method, demonstrate that a shape change from circular to rectangular increases the normalized transmission by an order of magnitude while the hole area decrea...
