Abstract:
The integration and miniaturization of nanostructure-based optical devices based on interaction with surface plasmons requires the fabrication of patterns of multiple nanostructures with tight spacing. The effect of surface plasmon energy interchange (cross-talk) across large grids of nanostructures and its effect on the optical characteristics of individual nanostructures have not been investigated. In this paper, we experimentally fabricated a large grid of individual nano-hole arrays of various hole diameter, hole spacing, and inter-array spacing. The spectral optical transmission of each nano-hole array was measured and the effect of inter-array spacing on the transmission spectra and resonance wavelength was determined.
