Abstract
The mechanisms responsible for enhanced transmission of electromagnetic wave through an array of subwavelength slits in a metallic film are analyzed. Theoretical model of the enhanced transmission which takes into account the penetration of electromagnetic field into real metal is developed. Semi-analytical model based on Fabry–Perot formula is considered. Comparison of theoretical model, semi-analytical model and results of numerical simulation of Maxwell equations in time-dependent form (FDTD method) for silver with various geometric parameters is presented. The roles of surface plasmons and plasmon localized along slits are studied.
