Abstract

The localized surface plasmon (LSP) resonances properties of periodic arrays of nanoholes in thin gold films are investigated by using the method of discrete dipole approximation (DDA). The surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) play important roles in amplification or suppression of the LSP resonances in the film. The LSP-SPP coupling is affirmed based on the extinction spectra calculated by the DDA. The intensity of the LSP resonances can be controlled through changing the edge-to-edge separation distances between nanoholes, the number and the diameter of the nanoholes. The calculations also indicate that the LSP resonance peak decreases with increasing the thickness of the gold film.
