Abstract

Metal gratings have an interesting property known as resonance absorption in the optics region [Raeter 1982], which causes partial or total absorption of incident light energy. This absorption is associated with the resonant excitation of plasmons on a grating surface; incident light couples with surface plasmons via an evanescent spectral order generated by the grating [Nevier 1982]. Resonance absorption in metal film gratings has been the subject of many theoretical [Nevier 1982] and experimental investigations focused on various applications including chemical sensing [DeGrandpre 1990, Zoran 2009], surface enhanced phenomena such as Raman scattering [Nemetz 1994], and photonic bandgaps [Barnes 1995, Tan 1998].
