Effects of Compound Rectangular Subwavelength Hole Arrays on Enhancing Optical Transmission
The optical transmission properties of the metallic film with an array of compound rectangular nanoholes are numerically investigated by the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The compound rectangular nanohole (unit cell) in such a structure consists of a large square hole with two small r...

The optical transmission properties of the metallic film with an array of compound rectangular nanoholes are numerically investigated by the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The compound rectangular nanohole (unit cell) in such a structure consists of a large square hole with two small rectangular holes symmetrically distributed at its both sides. Extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) of more than 85% is obtained in this structure, which is larger than that found in the metal film perforated only with the large hole array (55%) or the small hole array (18%). The EOT in the optical regime mainly results from the excitation and coupling of localized surface plasmon resonances and surface plasmon polaritons. The EOT properties can be efficiently tailored in both wavelength and transmission intensity by varying the size and shape of nanoholes. Our structure also shows the sensitivity to environmental dielectric constant. These results indicate that our structure has potential applications in plasmonic filters and sensors. |
