Abstract

In this paper we investigated the enhanced transmission and surface plasmon resonance through a thin gold film with a periodic array of subwavelength nanoholes. Both freestanding gold-film nanohole arrays and gold-film nanohole arrays deposited on a gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate are considered. Periodic arrays of nanoholes exhibit two different surface plasmon resonance features: localized waveguide resonance and the well-recognized photonic crystal resonance. The tangential electric field component EyEy is nonzero only in the hole region for a freestanding gold-film nanohole array, but it can exist in the hole region and in the metallic region for a gold-film nanohole array deposited on a GaAs substrate.
