Here localized surface plasmon (LSP) resonances occurring inside cross-shaped apertures arranged in thin metallic films are investigated. It is shown that these resonances can be controlled by altering the geometry of the apertures, whereas surface plasmon polariton excitation and Wood anomalies arising as a consequence of the periodicity distorts the spectrum produced by isolated LSP resonances. Simulations showing the behavior of single apertures versus periodic arrays of apertures are compared with experimental results for periodic arrays.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
