Abstract
Subwavelength cylindrical holes in optically thick metallic films always support a propagating HE11 mode near the surface plasmon frequency, regardless of how small the holes are. For holes filled with a uniform dielectric material, the bandwidth of the HE11 mode asymptotically approaches zero as the hole size is reduced to deep-subwavelength scales. We show that it is possible to create nanoscale propagating plasmonic modes with a very large bandwidth in holes that are concentrically filled with two different dielectric materials, even when the hole radius goes to zero.
