Abstract

The spectral properties of nanoporous gold are distinguished by two peaks in the transmission spectrum. Unlike earlier works, we do not attribute the peaks in the transmission to two separate localized plasmon resonances. Instead we show that the spectral shape can be understood as that of diluted gold with a spectrally narrow dip in transmission that arises from the averaged electric field approaching zero. Thus, the transmission characteristics are rather featured by a dip in one broad transmission curve than by two distinct peaks. Nanoporous gold is approximated by the effective medium model of a cubic grid of gold wires.
