Abstract:
We report the observation of enhanced near-infrared transmission through arrays of subwavelength coaxial metallic structures compared with that through comparable diameter hole arrays as a result of localized electromagnetic modes supported by the complex coaxial unit cell. Polarization and angle-dependent transmission measurements clearly demonstrate the coupling between this localized mode and delocalized surface plasmon modes. A generalized, multiple discrete states Fano line shape provides a good fit to the experimental results.
