Experiments and calculations examine light transmission influenced by hole shape in subwavelength arrays, suggesting significant implications.
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 decreases. Moreover, the spectra exhibit large redshifts (approximately 2500 cm(-1)). A comparison with the transmission of isolated holes shows that shape resonances of the rectangular holes play a dominant role.
