  5. The extraordinary optical transmission De quoi s'agit t'il? Avant tout, il s'agit de la transmission a travers une matrice de petits trous (plus petits que ld) qui presente un peak de transmission et un minimum a une longueur d'onde plus petite. T. W. Ebbesen, H.J. Lezec, H.F. Ghaemi, T. Thio and P.A. Wolff, Nature 391, 667 (1998).

  8. The extraordinary optical transmission -The effect is accompagnied by a field surprising funneling of light at the resonance transmission and of a strong squeezing of light in small volumes. Hhow do we understand that for specific wavelength, no light goes through, and for some other one, more light is transmitted than the light directly impinging onto the hole apertures? The initial vision proposed by ebessen and his coworkers to explain the EOT is the excitation of SPPs on the metallic surface. Since 10 years, there have been a considerable amount of works to explain the EOT, experimental numerical, and theoretical works. I just peak out two beautiful contributions leading to an anlytical formula for the transmission. ? T. W. Ebbesen, H.J. Lezec, H.F. Ghaemi, T. Thio and P.A. Wolff, Nature 391, 667 (1998).

  9. The extraordinary optical transmission = a grating scattering problem

  10. What is learnt from grating theory? Phil. Mag. 4, 396-402 (1902).

  11. Wire grid polarizer Inductive-capacitive grids Nearly 100% of the incident energy is transmitted at resonance frequencies for TM polarization • Hertz (1888) first used a wire grid polarizer for testing the newly discovered radio wave. • J.T. Adams and L.C. Botten J. Opt. (Paris) 10, 109–17 (1979). • R. Ulrich, K. F. Renk, and L. Genzel, IEEE Trans. Microwave Theory Tech. 11, 363 (1963). • C. Compton, R. D. McPhedran, G. H. Derrick, and L. C. Botten, Infrared Phys. 23, 239 (1983).

  12. Poles and zeros of the scattering matrix l-lz tF |tF|2 l-lp rF 0.2 The Fano-type formula is very elegant but does not explain why the pole exist, why it is close or not to the real axis. 0.1 0 700 750 800 l (nm) -Global analysis. -Why does the pole exist? Why does the zero exist? Why are they close or not to the real axis? tF E. Popov et al., PRB 62, 16100 (2000).

  13. tA2 exp(ik0nd) tF= 1- rA2 exp(2ik0nd) 30 20 10 0 650 700 750 800 The surface-mode interpretation you assume that inside the grating, the light is transmitted from the top to the bottom interfaces only via the fundamental evanescent mode of the hole array. (Doing that, one obtains a FP formula, where the exponential factor is small because the effective index is imaginary. The resonant transmission is then explained as a resonance of the rA and tA coefficients.) Doing that you obtain a FP-like analytical expression of the transmission coefficient. This is great but not completely satisfactory since the resonance of the transmission coefficient is explained through the resonance of another scattering coefficient. This is something like shifting the real problem. Le probleme avec cette interpretation, c'est que peu de temps apres de nouvelles manips ont montre que la TEO pouvait etre reproduite a des ld bcp plus grandes, ds l'infrarouge puis ds le domaine THz. La le metal peut etre considerer comme quasi parfait et l'interpretation à base de plasmon de surface Resonance-assisted tunneling tA rA L. Martín-Moreno, F. Garcia-Vidal & J. Pendry, Phys. Rev.

  14. The surface-mode interpretation 1/l SPP of the flat interface Black board : flat SPP versus surface mode of the corrugated surface |Hy| Mode of the perforated interface = pole of rA or tA Hybrid character k// P. Lalanne, J.C. Rodier and J.P. Hugonin , J. Opt. A 7, 422 (2005).

  17. tA2 exp(ik0nd) tF= 1- rA2 exp(2ik0nd) Weaknesses of classical grating theories -The resonance of tF is explained by the resonance of another scattering coefficients. This is unsatisfactory. -In reallity, nothing is known about the waves that are launched inbetween the hole and that are responsible for the EOT Resonance-assisted tunneling rA L. Martín-Moreno, F. Garcia-Vidal & J. Pendry, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 1114 (2001). 30 rA -The resonance of tF is explained by the resonance of another scattering coefficients. -In reality, nothing is known about the waves that are launched in between the hole and that are responsible for the EOT 20 10 0 650 700 750 800 l (nm)

  18. l-lz r  l-lp R(q0,l0)=0 l/30 M. C. Hutley and D. Maystre, “Total absorption of light by a diffraction grating,” Opt. Commun. 19, 431-436 (1976). D. Maystre, General study of grating anomalies from electromagnetic surface modes, in: A.D. Boardman (Ed.), Electromagnetic Surface Modes, Wiley, NY, 1982, (chapter 17).

  19. Indeed what is missing is a microscopic (or mesoscopic) theory, which explicitely considers the excitation of surface modes inbetween the holes, their further scattering with nearby holes, coupling their energy to free space and to the holes themselves. Thinking that way one gets a microscopic of light scattering by metallic gratings. This is in opposition with the usual macroscopic description, where we use global physical quantities, such as plane-wave expansion above and below the grating, and Bloch-mode expansion in the grating region.

  21. SPP coupled-mode equations Coupling only with the nearest neighbors Tight-binding approach Numerical solution consists in solving a linear system with N unknowns (N is the numer of hole rows) If periodic, then it is analytical Coupled-mode equations • An = w1w2…wn b(kx) + untAn1 + unrBn+1 • Bn = w1w2…wnb(kx) + un+1tBn-1 + unrAn1 • cn = w1w2…wn t(kx) + unaAn-1 + un+1aBn+1 • with un = exp(ikSPan) , wn = exp(ikxan) Periodicity is not needed!
