“…In this figure, we can see that the extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) peak is induced by MPW, changing from 230 to 200 THz, by tuning the incidence angle θ from 0 0 to 40 0 . In this measurement, EOT can be obtained for the normal incidence wave ( 0 =0 θ ), which did not occur in our previous work [28] .In the following model, we show that this is caused by the electric resonance in the slits. …”

“…Compared with the near-field magnetic and electric coupling, this interaction is much stronger and can lead to coherent magnetic plasmon waves with broad dispersive frequency bands and a slow group velocity of light. In our experimental work [28], a diatomic chain of SHRs was devised with a unit cell, including two SHRs with equal-length slits and different-sized holes. The extraordinary transmission peaks induced by the excitation of the coherent MPWs in such a system can be directly observed in our experiment.…”

A one-dimensional diatomic meta-chain with equal-size holes and different-length slits is designed. Broadband coherent magnetic plasmon waves (MPW) are formed in such a system, excited by both the electric resonance in the slits and the magnetic resonance in the holes in a wide range of incidence angles (0 1.IntroductionAlthough the invention of metamaterials has stimulated the interest of many researchers and has important applications in negative refraction [1][2][3][4][5][6], invisible cloaking [7][8][9], and many other transform optical designs, the basic design idea is very simple: composing effective media from many small structured elements and controlling their artificial electromagnetic (EM) properties. According to the effective media model, the coupling interactions between the elements in metamaterials are somewhat ignored; therefore, the effective properties of metamaterials can be viewed as the "averaged effect" of the resonance property of the individual elements. However, the coupling interaction between elements should always exist when they are arranged into metamaterials. Occasionally, especially when the elements are very close, this coupling effect is not negligible and will have a substantial effect on the properties of the metamaterials. Recent studies have shown that the resonance coupling effect between split-ring resonators (SRR) can introduce magnetoinductive waves [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] In our previous theory work [27], another kind of coupling mechanism between resonance elements,

“…Compared with usual one-layer grating like the crystal with one atom in the primitive cell, the two-layer grating is the crystal with two atoms in the primitive cell. Similar to a diatomic chain of slit-hole resonators [15], the dispersion relations of twolayer grating is divided into optical mode and acoustic mode while only acoustic dispersion branch for one-layer grating. The upper optical branch easily intersects with the incident light line while the lower acoustic branch below the light line.…”

“…Along with the rapid advancement in metamaterials research, magnetic plasmon polaritons (MPs) have been recognized as a mechanism for highfrequency magnetic response in some artificial nanostructures [13,14]. Recently, magnetic resonance has been employed to achieve EOT in a diatomic chain of slit-hole resonators [15] and metallic deep gratings [16] at infrared frequencies. Usually magnetic plasmon resonance occurs in nanostructures much smaller in size than the optical wavelength [17].…”

A new quasi-3D structure composed of stacked double-layer subwavelength metal gratings is designed for magnetic resonance in the visible region. The coupling of two-layer gratings induces a type of magnetic plasmon propagation mode characterized by extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) with extremely high transmittance of up to 0.94 for transverse magnetic polarization. The results show that magnetic resonance is an effective method to enhance the transmittance and avoid much energy loss, one of the barriers for application in the visible region. The magnetic resonance or EOT is strongly dependent on the wavelength which can simply be tuned by the period of gratings. This work paves a way to designing metallic metamaterials that are magnetically active in the visible spectral ranges. In addition, the proposed structure can be easily constructed using nanofabrication.

“…Recent studies on periodic gratings have revealed that localized magnetic polaritons (MPs), which are responsible for extraordinary transmission in metamaterials (Liu et al, 2006(Liu et al, , 2009, can also occur in periodic gratings to significantly alter the thermal radiative properties of the structure (Lee et al, 2008c). Figure 13 illustrates the effect of MP for a deep grating structure ).…”

This article reviews the recent advances in near-field radiative energy transfer, particularly in its fundamentals and applications. When the geometrical features of radiating objects or their separating distances fall into the sub-wavelength range, near-field phenomena such as photon tunneling and surface polaritons begin to play a key role in energy transfer. The resulting heat transfer rate can greatly exceed the blackbody radiation limit by several orders magnitude. This astonishing feature cannot be conveyed by the conventional theory of thermal radiation, generating strong demands in fundamental research that can address thermal radiation in the near field. Important breakthroughs of near-field thermal radiation are presented here, covering from the essential physics that will help better understand the basics of near-field thermal radiation to the most recent theoretical as well as experimental findings that will further promote the fundamental understanding. Applications of near-field thermal radiation in various fields are also discussed, including the radiative property manipulation, near-field thermophotovoltaics, nanoinstrumentation and nanomanufacturing, and thermal rectification.
