This review provides a perspective on the recent developments in the transmission of light
through subwavelength apertures in metal films. The main focus is on the phenomenon of …

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are highly localized surface waves that exist on the
interface of two media with opposite permittivities at optical frequencies. To produce spoof …

Surface plasmons are waves that propagate along the surface of a conductor. By altering the
structure of a metal's surface, the properties of surface plasmons—in particular their …

In this paper we explore the existence of surface electromagnetic modes in corrugated
surfaces of perfect conductors. We analyse two cases: one-dimensional arrays of grooves …

We experimentally demonstrate planar lenses based on nanoscale slit arrays in a metallic
film. Our lens structures consist of optically thick gold films with micron-size arrays of closely …

Light interacting with nanostructured metals excites the collective charge density fluctuations
known as surface plasmons (SP). Through excitation of the localized SP eigenmodes …

We present a theoretical foundation for the beaming of light displayed by a single
subwavelength aperture in an appropriately corrugated metal film [HJ Lezec, Science 297 …

In this paper, we report a successful realization and integration of a gold two-dimensional
hole array (2DHA) structure with semiconductor InAs quantum dot (QD). We show …

Strong polarization dependence is observed in the optical transmission through nanohole
arrays in metals. It is shown that the degree of polarization is determined by the ellipticity …

In this Letter, we explore transmission properties of a single subwavelength slit flanked by a
finite array of grooves made on a thick metallic film. We identify three main mechanisms that …
