    Abstract

    We show that lamellar metal gratings exhibit total transmission of incident radiation and strong nonresonant electric field enhancement in extremely subwavelength regime (in the nanometer-sized slits). With high accuracy the enhancement equals the ratio of the grating period to the slit width, it is independent on the wavelength and metal thickness.
