Universal optical transmission features in periodic and quasiperiodic hole arrays.
We investigate the influence of array order in the optical transmission properties of subwavelength hole arrays, by comparing the experimental spectral transmittance of periodic and quasiperiodic hole arrays as a function of frequency. We find that periodicity and long-range order are not necessary requirements for obtaining enhanced and suppressed optical transmission, provided short-range ord...
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...
متن کاملFull 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 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 کاملUltrasound Transmission Bands Through Perforated Plates with Two Periodic Arrays of Subwavelength Apertures
Both theoretical and experimental results on ultrasound transmission through perforated plates with two periodic arrays of subwavelength holes are presented. Multiple transmission peaks and dips can be achieved by a single perforated plate. The locations of the transmission peaks and dips can be tunned independently by the periodicities of the individual hole arrays. The locations of the transm...
متن کاملTheory of extraordinary optical transmission through subwavelength hole arrays.
We present a fully three-dimensional theoretical study of the extraordinary transmission of light through subwavelength hole arrays in optically thick metal films. Good agreement is obtained with experimental data. An analytical minimal model is also developed, which conclusively shows that the enhancement of transmission is due to tunneling through surface plasmons formed on each metal-dielect...
