Abstract
We present a novel periodic sub-wavelength metallic grating with parabolic walls fabricated on the silica substrate. With finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation, we find that the grating not only can realize broadband transmission in the visible range with TM-polarized incidence, but also can achieve higher transmission efficiency with TE-polarized light incidence. The transmission properties of the proposed grating strongly depend on the geometric parameters including the period, the thickness, the entrance width, and the exit width. The transmission spectra can be manipulated by tuning the parameters of the parabolic-wall grating. Transmission line theorem and the interaction between the surface plasmon waves on the slit walls are introduced to explain broadband extraordinary optical transmission of the grating proposed in this paper.
