Abstract

Optically thick metallic nanoslit arrays are opaque to TE-polarized light, in contrast to enhanced transmission of TM-polarized light. Here, we numerically show that, by introducing an ultrathin high-index dielectric coating on the metal surfaces, a quasi surface wave can be excited at the metasurfaces to enhance the transmission of TE-polarized light. The quasi surface wave is shown to behave like surface plasmon waves, and enhance the transmission in similar mechanisms as surface plasmon waves do for TM-polarized light. In this work, we suggest a way of manipulating TE-polarized light in metallic subwavelength structures.
