Abstract. We study numerically the H-polarized wave scattering by finite flat gratings of N silver nanostrips in free space in the context of co-existence of surface plasmon resonances (SPR) and periodicity-induced grating resonances (GRs). The accurate numerical analysis is carried out using the previously developed combination of two-side generalized boundary conditions imposed on the strip median lines and Nystrom-type discretization of the relevant singular and hyper-singular integral equations. Our computations are focused on specific periodicity-caused coupling which leads to the existence of the grating or lattice resonances near to λ G = p/m, m = 1, 2,… (at normal incidence). These resonances result in large reflection, transmission, absorption, and near-field enhancement. We also study the interplay of SPR and GR, if they approach each other and the optical response dependence of the grating parameters, such as overall dimension and number of strips.
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.
