Abstract
We propose a thin metallic film perforated with a hexagonal periodic array of cubic holes and calculate its optical properties through the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. Perfect superbroadband optical transparency from visible to near-infrared is achieved with the transmittance up to 99% due to the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons on the nanopatterned metal surface, localized surface plasmons at the edges of the cubic holes, and their cooperative interaction. The perfect superbroadband optical transparency of the proposed structure mainly depends on the size of holes and the period of the cubic hole array, and the proposed structure with perfect superbroadband optical transparency can resist to the interference of surrounding dielectric environment, which would provide fascinating potential applications in absorbers, solar cells, and transparent electrodes.
