Theory of Optical Transmission through Elliptical Nanohole Arrays
Abstract
We present a theory which explains (in the quasistatic limit) the experimentally observed [R. Gordon, et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 037401 (2004)] squared dependence of the depolarization ratio on the aspect ratio of the holes, as well as other features of extraordinary light transition. We calculated the effective dielectric tensor of a metal film penetrated by elliptical cylindrical holes and found the extraordinarily light transmission at special frequencies related to the surface plasmon resonances of the composite film. We also propose to use the magnetic field for getting a strong polarization effect, which depends on the ratio of the cyclotron to plasmon frequencies.
