Abstract

We numerically investigated 3-dimensional (3D) sub-wavelength structured metallic nanohole films with various thicknesses using wavelength interrogation technique. The reflectivity and full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectra was calculated using finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method. Results showed that a 100nm-thick silver nanohole gave higher reflectivity of 92% at the resonance wavelength of 644nm. Silver, copper and aluminum structured thin films showed only a small difference in the reflectivity spectra for various metallic film thicknesses whereas gold thin films showed a reflectivity decrease as the film thickness was increased. However, all four types of metallic nanohole films exhibited increment in FWHM (broader curve) and the resonance wavelength was red-shifted as the film thicknesses were decreased.
