Abstract
Abstract We investigate numerically the transmittance of light through gold double-layer structures with periodic coaxial and non-coaxial slits. We attribute the enhanced optical transmission to the surface plasmon resonance collaborating with the localized waveguide resonance. The transmission spectra and the surface electric fields are used to characterize the resonances of both types. For the coaxial system, with the increase of the slit width of the second layer, the resonance peak values of both types increase sharply at first until the two layers have the same slit width and then decrease dramatically; additionally, the center of the localized waveguide resonance peak shifts to shorter wavelength noticeably, but the surface plasmon peak center moves negligibly. As regards the non-coaxial structure, it shows a similar behavior of the localized waveguide resonance peak to that of the coaxial one; however, the surface plasmon resonance peak behaves in a different way. These results may be associated with the surface plasmon coupling modes and the Fabry–Perot cavity modes in the double-layer structure.
